Anna Kalk Quartet

Guitarist Anna Kalk creates a sound construct with her pieces that is as diverse as life itself. With driving beats and ethereal soundscapes, she describes the darker sides of life, only to then provide comfort and warmth. The Anna Kalk Quartet is a dynamic ensemble from Bern, Switzerland. Anna Kalk's compositions are introspective explorations of the shadows, struggles, and bitterness of life. At the same time, they reflect the warmth and solace that arise when life is turned upside down. Her music thrives on contrasts. With jagged rhythms and driving bass lines juxtaposed against expansive melodies and gentle soundscapes, she illustrates the intensity associated with life's changes. Whether it’s about the tremor of a transition, the melancholy of an ending, or the uncertainty of a new beginning – Anna's music acknowledges that life is ultimately greater than all of us – a realization that can be deeply comforting. Anna Kalk is a guitarist from Estonia. For the past six years, she has lived in Germany and Switzerland, performing in various formations such as Assonance, KBK, EDNA, Noblique, and Anemoon.
