Kristina Barta’s Red Landscape
ft. Petra Brabencová & Jure Pukl

The Czech pianist whose performances have been described as "fiery, expressive, eloquent, and stubborn." With international recognition as a composer and pianist, Barta has captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. Her concerts bring a unique blend of classical training and jazz innovation, standing out at prestigious festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival, Jazzahead!, and many others.

A new project presented by Kristina Barta and her quartet, joined by guest vocalist Petra Brabencová, promises a unique fusion of modern jazz with elements of Czech historical and cultural identity. The project will feature original compositions exploring the theme of crossing boundaries, as well as new arrangements of well-known songs—including the legendary “Prayer for Marta,” a symbol of Czech resistance against occupation.

The core lineup of pianist Kristina Barta’s quartet includes renowned Slovenian saxophonist Jure Pukl, known for his work on the New York jazz scene. During his studies at Berklee College of Music in the U.S., he collaborated with major figures such as Dave Liebman and Esperanza Spalding, and his work has been praised by saxophone legend Joe Lovano. Pukl’s style, rooted in lightness and freedom, plays a vital role in the quartet, enriching its sound with an international influence.
