Trio Well-Jocaru
About the Artists
They are full-blooded musicians based in Munich: the siblings Maria (cello) and Matthias Well (violin). The German-French siblings have been performing on stage as the Duo two Well since their earliest childhood - now they have been joined by virtuoso accordionist Vladislav Cojocaru. With a lot of joy in music and great finesse, they reinterpret well-known pieces together, using all facets of their instruments and thus manage to inspire their listeners. The program ranges from classical music to jazz evergreens and groovy gypsy swing. An evening full of temperament, groove and melancholy.
