The duo of Lea Brückner (violin) and Gabor Ladanyi was founded in 2022. With Lea coming from a classical background and Gabor from jazz, the two young musicians have developed their own musical style, seamlessly blending classical music with elements of jazz, bossa nova, and more. Their repertoire ranges from Paganini’s Moses Fantasy, Bach’s Prelude in C minor, and Liszt’s Rhapsody No. 2 to Leo Weiner’s Divertimento, Django Reinhardt’s Minor Swing, Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel, and many others.

Their neo-classical style creates an extraordinary concert atmosphere, further enhanced by Lea’s concert moderations. With this special fusion of quality and modernity, they appeal to both young and older audiences.

Here’s a look back at some highlights from their past concerts:
