Meraki Trio
About
Meraki trio is Rósa Guðrún Sveinsdóttir on flute, baritone
saxophone and vocals, Sara Mjöll Magnúsdóttir on piano and Þórdís Gerður
Jónsdóttir on cello. In their original compositions, Meraki blend nordic
influences with melodic jazz, arranged in creative ways for their unusual
instrumentation. The instruments take turns assuming roles of melody,
accompaniment and bass. The trios members have diverse backgrounds ranging
anywhere from baroque music and classical to pop and jazz music. Drawing
on their individual experience and shared passion for jazz, Meraki trio crafts
a sound that is introspective, personal and eclectic, embodying the essence of
their collective spirit. The trio published their first album in September
of 2024 titled "Meraki trio", with 6 original songs. They will
perform selections from their album as well as new material and arrangements of
other songs.
