Hailed for his “captivating honesty” (The Music Trust), Niran Dasika is a multi award-winning trumpeter and improvisor, known for his ethereal, expressive trumpet playing and deeply evocative compositions, described as “ravishing” (The Sydney Morning Herald) and “exquisite” (Australian Book Review).

Dasika premiered this project with the MJC at the start of 2021, combining acclaimed pianist Andrea Keller and the then recently migrated emerging bass virtuoso Helen Svoboda (recipient of 2020 Freedman Jazz Fellowship, and the AAO’s ‘Pathfinder’ Music Leadership program for 2020/2021). They have developed since that premiere, and will present a concert of contemplative, minimalist new compositions.
