Barbora Xu (CZ)

Czech singer and multi-instrumentalist Barbora Xu (Barbora Silhánová) has been working in Europe and Asia, exploring local poetry, string instruments and vocal techniques while composing music. Her work is deeply inspired by nature, the calmness, fragility and softness experienced in the natural light and soundscapes of forests, the fullness of human voice and handmade instruments combined.
By her side, South Moravian violinist Petra Jelénková draws from the Czech tradition and the highly acclaimed jazz double bass player Petr Tichý finalizes the combination with his light yet steady touch.

Line up:

Barbora Xu: guzheng, kantele
