A Salute to Oscar Peterson
When the Janoska Ensemble and Ulf Wakenius meet, the music moves beyond all pigeonholes. Four exceptional musicians with classical training and a passion for improvisation meet one of Europe's most sensitive jazz guitarists - and together they celebrate one of the greats of jazz with »A Salute to Oscar Peterson«.

Beyond genre boundaries
The Janoska Ensemble's unique musical language combines classical music, jazz, folk music and world music. Ulf Wakenius, long-time guitarist in the Oscar Peterson Quartet, contributes his unmistakable sound. What unites them both: the joy of spontaneous dialogue, the freedom of the moment and paying homage to one of the most influential jazz pianists of the 20th century.

On this evening, musical curiosity and technical mastery give rise to lively, moving and captivating music - across styles, virtuosic and full of wit.
