Agora brings a new perspective on the jazz piano trio. A deep personal connection transforms into music through improvisation and playfulness. In three years playing together, they have developed a solid sound that flows in unity exploring their compositions with a democratic and adventurous attitude. In the search for their own voice, their greatest influences come from European jazz and classical composers such as Maurice Ravel or Olivier Messiaen. A delicate and explosive sound brought by a band with a horizontal nature, where all instruments play a main role. The Godown is excited to welcome the Agora Trio on 23 February 8pm - consisting of Evan van der Feen (piano), Ignacio Pintó (double bass) and Guy Abada (drums) - for a special, limited seats event, as the trio prepares to release their new album. Full price and student tickets are available. Doors open at 7.30pm, we look forward to welcoming you for an evening of wonderful music. https://linktr.ee/AgoraTrio Information Source: Godown Studio | eventbrite
