Back to Bach Project

The Trytone Collective is an unconventional quintet striving to create bridges between different musical styles and musicians coming from different backgrounds. Having roots from classical, jazz and performance practice, their goal is to abolish stylistic barriers in order to bring the music from the past into a modern day context. Inspired by works from J.S Bach, their first project Back to Bach aimed to blend a unique new sound by marrying the specifcities of the baroque performance practice together with those of jazz, including their respective styles of improvisation. Creation, exchange, research, experimentation, risks are the key forces behind their collaboration.
