Since their formation in 1986, the unique sound of Kolsimcha has captivated and enthralled the demanding audiences at New York's Carnegie Hall and London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall, as well as those of the most renowned jazz, classical and world music festivals on three continents. Through their original music language, sheer enthusiasm and virtuosity, they generate a concert atmosphere unlike any other group.
The “fantastic five” creates a groundbreaking mix of thrilling jazz improvisations, dazzling symphonic sounds and exotic Mediterranean melodies, alternating with poignant ballads and sensuous Eastern European rhythms.
“…Kolsimcha, a band which imparts the pure joy of playing, a superb band!...”
