Watch Ikarai perform live at 2019's 12 Points Festival

Camiel Jansen double bass/composer, Julian Schneeman piano, Jeroen Batterink drums, Tessel Hersbach violin, Yanna Pelser viola, Bence Huszar cello | Amsterdam, The Netherlands | 27-09-2019

Using Muhammad Ali’s famed wordplay as a springboard for improvisation, Ikarai brings the worlds of classical composition and improvisation into the boxing ring, literally. Their music flows through the prism of this famous championship boxing event creating something utterly unique in the process.
