About The Casimir Connection
Featuring saxophone, violin, double bass and piano, the music allows space to explore sound and silence. This creates intensity and intimacy, echoing chamber music of the classical tradition.
Quiet and brooding, serene and uplifting, with influences from Keith Jarrett and Poulenc to Bartok and Balkan folk music, The Casimir Connection features compositions of striking originality.
