Emma Rawicz arrives in France with an exceptional quartet, bringing together some of the most exciting improvisers on the current European scene. Resolutely international, the ensemble brings together leading musicians from France and the United Kingdom. It draws on long-standing artistic collaborations while forging a new and unique sound identity.
For its Paris debut, the group will present Emma Rawicz's original compositions, with a strong improvisational dimension and a deep sense of freedom and joy in the music. Composed of virtuosos, all of whom are bold leaders and creators in their own projects, the ensemble stands out for the breadth and richness of its musical possibilities. A first Paris concert not to be missed.
Saxophonist, conductor and composer Emma Rawicz impresses with her remarkable artistic maturity. At only 24 years old, she has already released four critically acclaimed albums - Incantation, Chroma, Big Visit and INKYRA - and headlined tours in 15 countries. She has performed at prestigious festivals and venues, notably as a soloist with the BBC Concert Orchestra at Queen Elizabeth Hall and with the SWR Radio Big Band Stuttgart at a sold-out concert at the Berlin Philharmonie.
The youngest artist in residence in the history of the Cambridge Jazz Festival, she has received numerous awards and nominations in recognition of her talent.
Since September 2024, she has also been a member of the BBC New Generation Artists for a period of two years, confirming her place among the leading figures of the new generation of European jazz.
