The Smallest Quartet in the World: This name has accompanied the band for years. Originally founded as a quartet, they later became a trio, yet decided to keep the name regardless. It may sound paradoxical, but in concerts and recordings the Kwartet Jorgi (kvurtet yorgee) really does sound like a real quartet - or even a quintet or sextet.
Their music generates a unique atmosphere stemming both from the dense richness of the sounds they create, and the musicians' self-effacement and sensitivity.
A Kwartet Jorgi concert is a feast for the ears and eyes, exploring the deepest reaches of Slavic tradition. Each record is a revelation, drawing from the same stylistic elements, yet breaking new ground every time.
