French Amsterdam-based drummer Aurel Violas has been leading his own trio since 2018, with a repertoire of own compositions and arrangements.

Together with trumpet player Antonio Moreno Glazkov, he is currently the co-leader of jazz sextet Chai Masters (finalist of Keep An Eye The Records 2022), that will release its first album in June 2022.

At Treehouse NDSM, he teams up with pianist and composer Jia Xia and visual artist Muxingye Chen for the project Open Call. It will consist on a live performance where musicians, programmed soundscapes and screened visuals will interact.
