Portico Quartet

PORTICO QUARTET No matter how hard you try to categorise the Portico Quartet, their constantly evolving, protean music remains elusive. Since their formation in the mid-2000s, the London band has seduced with its original instrumental configuration, where the hang, that futuristic descendant of the steel drum, rubs shoulders with double bass, drums, saxophone and piano. From the static and minimalist pieces of their beginnings, their sound has evolved towards increasingly free cinematographic panoramas, between acoustic and electronic, propelled by a rhythmic with hypnotic powers. A fascinating journey to the frontiers of jazz and ambient music, which will take its full scope on stage.
