SPECIAL EVENT
Štih Hall, Friday, September 22nd at 15.30 To Pianos: Kaja Draksler & Eve Risser Special concert of the Ljubljana Jazz Series album release by Clean Feed. This joint project was destined to be. After the two compelling artists released their solo piano albums on Clean Feed, and have navigated further terrain in diverse regular and ad hoc contexts, the idea emerged to bring the two thrilling young pianists together. The JFL commission surprised neither the musicians nor the public. Eager to do something special and new, the musicians leaped at the opportunity with wholehearted dedication.
