Gisela Horat

Growing up in a small mountain village in Uri, Gisela first got to know the world of music through classical piano lessons. Over the years, the desire to write, create and improvise music herself grew stronger and stronger and more than twenty years ago, she started to explore the improvised music. Her first trio was with Andy Zitz (base) and Marc Stämpfli (drums). But she had also a duo with Maria Geiger on the violin for more than ten years. This account doesn't include many more groups, where Gisela Horat was part of playing Jazz Standards or led by her playing her own music. Her current project is the Gisela Horat Trio with Samuel Büttiker (drums) and Simon Iten (base), but also a solo program and a Duo with the flutist Kristina Müller.
