Arta Jekabsone's My Suite.Reflections at The Jazz Gallery

Arta Jēkabsone –voice & compositions
Theo Walentiny –piano
Lucas Kadish –guitar
Hwansu Kang –bass
Connor Parks –drums
Zosha Warpeha –violin
Uta Habbig –violin
Kate Barmotina –viola
Julie Kim –cello

Jēkabsone’s musical horizons start with simple Latvian folk song melodies, harmonies and structures and can reach to something more complex, more toward the world of improvisation. “My suite. Reflections” will embody this statement. As Jēkabsone describes – “This music will be self– exploration, my inner world’s reflections – what does a blooming flower mean to me, what is my wind song?! Every single song will have multiple meanings. Hopefully this self-discovery will lead people to search for their own meanings and interpretations. I define myself as a part of music and a vibrant color in the broad musical pallet. Who are you, my friend?” 

“Arta Jēkabsone is a voice that will soothe any pain or suffering. She is the guardian and ambassador of light, love and peace. Yet, she still can bedazzle you with complex, but not overwhelming lines and melodies, and she freely takes command of harmony and rhythm.” 
– Composer and pianists Edgars Cīrulis

The group has been named Aurelia due to their sound being closely associated with the lucid-dreamlike appearance and movement of the Aurelia jellyfish. Rooted in jazz, Aurelia Trio’s musical language bears several other influences, particularly contemporary classical music and free improvisation. Featuring music written by all three members, original composition with an emphasis on improvisation is a key aspect of Aurelia Trio’s sound.
