Dina Kitrossky is a highly regarded pianist and composer. After studying Middle Eastern piano performances as she made her mark in the jazz world, she is able to give the piano new colors and her own deeply personal inner world. Kitrossky takes a distinctly Western instrument and uses maqams, rich harmonies, and quarter tones to infuse it with the soul and depth of the East. The result is a new, personal, complex, and moving musical language – one in which every note carries meaning. The trio will perform pieces from Waves, Kitrossky’s debut album (December 2023). Together with double bassist Bar Geva and drummer Yaniv Loven, they create a vibrant onstage dynamic – one of improvisation, musical dialogue, and a constant search for color and depth. A chance to dive into a personal world of intriguing and daring music – one that forms a natural bridge between ancient tradition and contemporary innovation.
