Indigo Ensemble

What does it take for an accomplished chamber quartet to set aside Ravel and Bach? Jazz – cool, bluesy jazz.

The Indigo Ensemble is multinational and multitalented, joined in an eager exploration of music. Rodrigo Guzmán is a classical concert guitarist who easily transitions to more modern fare. Johannes Neupertis is a virtuoso violinist, adept at everything from Schubert to swing to Sting. Double bassist Peter Nelson is at home both with philharmonics and local jazz clubs. And Rafael de Torres works as a concert pianist but relaxes behind whatever keyboard he faces.

This exhilarating group’s instrumentation is nontraditional, and their repertoire is completely uninhibited, ranging from Duke Ellington to Jimi Hendrix, Astor Piazzolla and Hugo Blanco. Their singular goal is to create intimate and exciting music without borders, connecting with each other and the audience.
