Marcin Wasilewski Trio live in Junas

Experience Marcin Wasilewski Trio live on July 22nd

Marcin Wasilewski Trio is a Polish jazz group internationally recognized for its lyrical and subtly dynamic approach to piano trio music. Formed in the late 1990s, the ensemble – comprising Marcin Wasilewski on piano, Sławomir Kurkiewicz on bass, and Adam Bałdych on drums – blends elements of post-bop, classical music, and a distinctly European sensibility. Their performances are characterized by nuanced interplay, spacious arrangements, and a focus on melodic development rather than virtuosic display. The trio has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and frequently tours across Europe and beyond.

Les Carrières de Junas is a former bauxite quarry in the village of Junas, Gard department, Southern France. Transformed into an open-air performance venue, it’s renowned for its unique acoustics and dramatic natural setting carved into the limestone cliffs. The site began hosting concerts in 1986, initially focusing on theatre before expanding to include musical performances across various genres. Its unusual geological formation creates a natural amphitheater effect enhancing sound projection while providing a visually striking backdrop. The venue is known for its intimate atmosphere despite its capacity and has become a significant cultural landmark in the region attracting artists and audiences internationally.
