Anastasiia Donna Quartet Invites Joachim Govin

Anastasiia Donna’s playing is striking for its lyricism, its freedom, and an instantly recognizable musical personality. This Russian guitarist with an international career has developed a unique artistic world that evokes both the elegance of Jim Hall and the modernity of Lage Lund, all while asserting a resolutely personal voice. Praised by musicians such as Matt Brewer and Mark Whitfield for the subtlety of her playing, the finesse of her phrasing, and the quality of her swing, she will present a repertoire for this concert that blends original compositions, new arrangements, and jazz standards. Joining her are Tony Tixier on piano, Joachim Govin on double bass, and Pierre-Eden Guibaud on drums, forming a close-knit and inspired quartet dedicated to delivering music that is lively, sensitive, and inventive.
