John Blek and The Broken Strings will be embarking on their first tour of Europe in early 2024. The trio consists of Irish songwriter John Blek, Dresden-based cellist Moritz Br\u00fcmmer and Leipzig-based viola player Filip Sommer.<\/p>\n

The group met for the first time in July 2022, while on an artist-in-residence programme in the Saxony countryside just outside Dresden. Blek had been commissioned to write a suite of songs by the Free State of Saxony and record them at Castle Studios, R\u00f6hrsdorf. Br\u00fcmmer and Sommer were also working on this session, and the trio gelled to great effect. Working together in an inspired and fluid way.<\/p>\n

It was the blend of their traditional classical training and their improvisational skills that impressed John and led him to invite Br\u00fcmmer and Sommer to join him on tour.<\/p>\n

There is a sense of freedom and joy in the playing of this group. The rise and fall of ensemble string playing mixed with the fingerpicking guitar style and emotive lyricism of Blek’s songs. True synergy is achieved when they perform together.<\/p>\n
