Nikol Bóková Trio Klára Pudláková & MAOMAH

Pianist and composer Nikol Bóková is one of the most followed and successful artists of the young generation. Last year alone, she gave concerts in Japan, Austria, Germany, the United Kingdom and Italy, among others. She gives concerts and records in various groups and solo, and will bring a stable line-up of her Trio to Brno.

The principle of Maomah's work is to develop original compositions based on classical music through improvisation and rhythmic freedom borrowed from jazz. On the one hand, the double bass and three violins respect the rules of composition, on the other hand, thanks to the abilities and experience of the participants, they can be carried away by the flow of free improvisation, and thanks to this, the compositions of Klára Pudláková, who calls this shift a musical mystery, sound different every time. Musical expression and dynamics are thus not governed by the musical notation, but by the mutual reaction of the musicians and the given moment. This also applies to the current group, in which the original string ensemble (double bass and three violins) has been expanded to include wind instruments (saxophone, saxophone and clarinet, trombone).
