KURT! is a project led by vocalist Valentina Fin who, together with pianist Mauro Spanò, has developed a research dedicated to the early 20th century German composer and musician Kurt Weill. The chamber ensemble combines the classic string quartet with the piano-voice duo. The sextet, based on the original scores, has developed new and contemporary arrangements, proposing the same atmosphere between jazz and contemporary classical music, in some original compositions too, inspired by some poems of Weill's historic friend and collaborator, Bertolt Brecht.
