Bartóks Musik ist vielschichtig, voller visionärer Klangfarben, gleichzeitig rückversichert sich das Werk des großen Komponisten einer archaischen Tradition. Ausgangspunkt für das musikalische „Zwiegespräch“ sind zunächst die Rumänischen Volkstänze und als Inspiration die Streichquartette. Ideale Sprungbretter, um auf musikalische Reisen zu gehen.

Komposition: Laia Genc

LiaisonTonique Indicates a "strengthening relation".
Liaison is a soundstructure that enables the three individual voices to create deep and dreamy athmospheres, tell their stories and paint colorful pictures, imagining the very meaning of the music. Played live the music is always breathing, changing and shimmering, hosting beautiful magical moments of soundpainting. It fascinates by its sensibility and is mostly as fragile as soap bubbles floating through time and space.
In their collaboration LiaisonTonique plays original compositions by Laia Genc. Some handchosen and favored classical jazztunes appear in their concert programm as well. 
Trying to explain music with words the trio´s music is unfolding between  modern lyrical pianotriosounds, impulsivly grooving songs and freely improvised parts. Special attention is paid to the frequent interaction between the three musicians and the challenging spirit of the music being alive and frequently rebuilding itself. 
With lots of charme, a fresh  and lively attitude and the shelmish wink of an eye LiaisonTonique is opening the ears and hearts of their listeners.

LiaisonTonique are:
Laia Genc: piano
Markus Braun: Bass
Jens Düppe: Drums
