Rebecca Trescher Quartet

Driven by boundless curiosity and the joy of experimenting with both jazz and symphonic contemporary music, she has acquired an outstanding reputation in the German and international jazz scene. Her compositional ideas are closely related to nature: her music is both grounded and ethereal. In her compositions, Trescher creates a unique sound world that is associative and organic rather than provocative. Critics and audiences alike have been fascinated by her ability to use only a few notes to transform a serene musical atmosphere into poetic arcs of tension at a symphonic scale.  

In 2022, the musician was awarded the German Jazz Prize for Composition of the Year for her composition Paris-Zyklus.In that same year, she won DownBeat magazine’s international critics’ poll as “Rising Star Clarinet”. She performs on international concert stages and has released eight albums under her own name to date, earning numerous awards for her artistic work.

She has now assembled a top quartet, consisting of the instrumental virtuoso Andreas Feith on piano, the insightful Cologne bassist Lukas Keller, and the creative drummer Jan Brill from Nuremberg. These strong, distinctive musicians will reinterpret the composer’s works, pushing the boundaries of composition, improvisation, and interpretation.
