The Conservatory of Amsterdam is full of young, talented musicians with a drive to create and inspire. From May 21 till the end of June, every Tuesday our stage will be the playground of these Rough Diamonds. Every edition two or more promising bands will perform, entry is free.
Anna Zavorina’s String Quintet + The Rabbits
Two bands in the first set, focusing on strings. Anna Zavorina’s String Quintet draws inspiration from Russian composers, combined with personal influences of bandleader, vocalist and double bassist Anna Zavorina. The Rabbits is an ode by the musicians to the freedom of their youth, like bouncing rabbits in the meadow. The music, composed by pianist David Saruchanov, is inspired by the structure of classical music and the freedom of jazz improvisation.
CHIEFS CONDITION
CHIEFS CONDITION is an Amsterdam-based collective that mixes jazz funk and hip-hop, with five musicians from different backgrounds who together create a recognisable sound. This can also be heard on their first EP, INLY, released in 2023.
