KROKE brings Krakow sound worlds to Mainz

On November 10, 2027, the Polish trio KROKE will perform at the Frankfurter Hof Mainz. The band combines modern Polish music with Klezmer, contemporary jazz, and chamber music craftsmanship for an intense concert experience full of atmosphere and improvisational tension.

Between Klezmer tradition and contemporary jazz

KROKE, whose name means Krakow in Yiddish, has developed a distinctive language from the roots of Klezmer music. Accordion, viola, and double bass merge into a fluid sound that intertwines folkloric motifs, oriental tones, jazz harmonies, and classical orchestration.

Improvisation as a musical journey

The trio's stage performance thrives on fine dialogues and spontaneous twists. Melodies grow from small motifs, change direction, and open space for expressive solos. This synchronization of chamber music precision and free improvisation creates a special live atmosphere, where each piece unfolds its own dramaturgy.

Internationally awarded and well-connected

KROKE has collaborated with Nigel Kennedy, Peter Gabriel, Anna Maria Jopek, Edyta Geppert, Tomasz Stańko, and the Sinfonietta Cracovia, among others. The trio received the German Record Critics' Award, was nominated for the BBC Radio 3 Awards for World Music, and placed the album Ten Pieces to Save the World second in the World Music Charts Europe. The title The Secrets of The Life Tree also appeared in the soundtrack of David Lynch's film Inland Empire.
