Fresh electro-acoustic drone-orbiting quartet Krullevaar are setting out to defy genres and cross disciplines in Utrecht.

In this project, Matija showcases his original compositions for piano, which are a mix of classical and jazz music with some odd time signatures and dark, but elegant harmonies and melodies.

The power of the resonance of the strings and the non temperate melodies are some of the elements in common in all the styles mentioned previously.

Myrthe Koolstra is a Dutch songwriter. In her music she turns stories into sound. Dark green woods and whispering trains, sixteen colours of autumn and a small ray of sunlight. She grew up on a houseboat on the edge of Amsterdam, in between chickens, six siblings and a lot of instuments.

In early May, Rosa Westerbaan her debut EP will be released! To celebrate this, she will give an intimate concert with the whole band in the cozy space of Touchstone.

The Theodore Lotis Trio is a modern jazz group founded in Utrecht in October 2025. Led by guitarist and composer Theodore Lotis, the trio performs original music and selected melodies shaped by a strong focus on collective improvisation.
