Minja Mijuskovic Nonet
About the event
The Minja Mijuskovic Nonet consists of a jazz quintet and a string quartet. Imagine the richness of the sound when a quintet with two distinctive saxophonists combines with the tenderness and beauty of strings. One thing is certain: this band knows how to touch you deeply with music that evokes a sense of genuine truth. Their music can evoke feelings of longing and nostalgia. The Minja Mijuskovic Nonet invites you to experience a vision of a paranormal existence, depicted in Minja's jazz-impressionistic compositions. String Quartet + Jazz Quintet with Carolina Gemmell
The nonet is the winner of the DownBeat Student Award 2026 in the Small Jazz Ensemble/Combo category. This concert is made possible in part by the Amarte Fund and is hosted by Oene van Geel.
Program
The program consists of original compositions and arrangements by Minja Mijuskovic, in which jazz and impressionism come together. The program includes the suite Boya and new pieces written for the ensemble's upcoming album, among others.
