In 2021-2022, we celebrated the 27th year of our career amidst a global pandemic very much still in full swing. However, closures of performance halls, re-openings (but at reduced capacities) and public sanitary measures were not about to prevent us from continuing to share creative music from here and elsewhere with the general public.
