Emma Rawicz’s Cloudwalker delivers fearless, spontaneous improvisation with a bold, international quartet. A unique blend of Nordic jazz, classical harmony, rock, and Brazilian grooves, it promises thrilling, uncharted soundscapes and a stellar sense of play.
Emma Rawicz has established herself as a fearless improviser, always ready to explore new musical territory. Cloudwalker builds on this spirit, placing spontaneous creation and bold artistic curiosity at the centre of the music.
Her acoustic tenor saxophone band draws on a classic jazz formation while pushing it into a fresh and distinctive sound world. For this project, Emma has assembled a powerful international group that engages with the format’s possibilities in a vibrant and imaginative way. Their interaction generates a special chemistry—full of unexpected turns, sonic richness, and emotional breadth.
Emma is already celebrated for a sound and musical maturity far beyond her years. Cloudwalker allows these qualities to shine, offering a glimpse into her continued artistic evolution. Influences from Nordic jazz, contemporary classical harmony, rock, and Brazilian grooves blend into music that is both unique and deeply nuanced.
As its name suggests, Cloudwalker embraces a sky-bound musical vision, with the band reaching upward toward an expansive and unbounded creative landscape.
This event will last approximately 90 minutes, with no interval.

Reviews
‘With Inkyra, Emma Rawicz comes in full bloom, an artist with a great vision and voice that uplifts the spirit and taps the soul. […] When Rawicz solos on tenor saxophone, the tune lifts into the stratosphere. She shows off her serious chops in building a soaring improvisation that, at its conclusion, left this listener saying, “Whew!” ’ ★★★★ Editor’s Pick, Downbeat (US)
‘Dreamily cinematic soundscapes, snappy polyrhythmic tenor-sax groovers and atmospherically songlike meditations.’ The Guardian
“Emma Rawicz is one of the most exciting artists on the British jazz scene.[…} a statement for a new generation.” NDR Kultur
