ABOUT US

Tactus Project is an ensemble stablished in Basel by a group of musicians who felt many contemporary classical music was missing proposals to engage audience in the act of listening. Always aiming to create immersive experiences, this project is their own statement on how music should be faced, performed, and listened to. In their concerts, all the elements present are carefully planned to contribute cohesively to the whole. They propose music which transcends the shallowness of trends; music that is meaningful, cohesive and enriching for the audience, regardless the media it uses to express itself.

The ensemble composed by José Luis Inglés (clarinets), Adrián Albaladejo (trombone/euphonium), Katarina Leskovar (cello) and Asia Ahmetjanova (piano) under the artistic direction of Nuño Fernández Ezquerra. An unusual combination of instruments that allow them to explore new sonorities and revitalise the creation of new music for this combination.

All of them have an extensive experience in contemporary and classical music performance and creation, being featured in diverse festivals internationally. Their inquisitiveness have led them to explore diverse kinds of musical expressions (as interpreters or creators) fact that brings a new and refreshing perspective to contemporary performance and to the kind of concert experiences they propose.
