Austria
David Helbock Trio
Austrian pianist David Helbock represents a new wave of jazz musicians who are forging unique paths, expanding boundaries, and reshaping the way we perceive both traditional and contemporary music. His work redefines the relationship between composition and improvisation, challenging conventional ideas about genre and artistic identity. With numerous glowing international reviews and thousands of performances worldwide, Helbock has firmly established himself on the global stage. His current Trio, which earned Austria’s prestigious “Outstanding Artist Award,” explores a mystical realm in their album Into the Mystic. The record draws inspiration from a rich tapestry of mythologies, from ancient Greek legends to cosmological themes, as well as diverse literary, cinematic, and artistic influences.
Their performance will also feature selections from earlier albums, combining lyrical sensitivity with bursts of high-energy and rhythmic intensity.
