Kroke
Kroke, originally mainly associated with Klezmer creations, now moves through various genres. As graduates of the Music Academy of Krakow, and also as searching artists, the three musicians did not hesitate to experiment with jazz and contemporary music. The artists draw inspiration from ethnic music from around the world, always enriching their works with their own improvisations. Thus, Kroke creates its own style that hovers beyond borders, time, and forms, which is not only noticed by the audience but also appreciated by artists worldwide.
Inspired by the Kroke concert, Steven Spielberg invited the band to Jerusalem to perform at the "Survivors Reunion" ceremony for the survivors of Schindler's List. Thanks to Peter Gabriel, the group participated in the WOMAD festival in the UK. This meeting also led to joint recording sessions in the Real World Studios. Parts of the recordings were later used by Peter Gabriel on the album "Long Walk Home," which was the soundtrack to the film "Rabbit-Proof Fence."
Kroke's piece "The Secrets of The Life Tree" was featured on the soundtrack of David Lynch's "Inland Empire." The encounter between Kroke and Nigel Kennedy led to a collaborative work – the album "East Meets East." In recent years, the ensemble also worked with Anna Maria Jopek, Edyta Geppert, Tomasz Stanko, Maja Sikorowska, Krzysztof Herdzin, the Norwegian band Tindra, Spanish violinist Diego Galaz, Mongolian singer Urna Chahar Tugchi, as well as with the orchestras Sinfonietta Cracovia, Aukso, Västerås Sinfonietta, Burgos Symphony Orchestra, and the German Film Orchestra Babelsberg.

"What draws me so successfully into the music of Kroke is this spiritual reality that they have ... it’s the honesty and sincerity in their music." — Nigel Kennedy
