LULUK PURWANTO
violin & voice
7:30 p.m. Friday 1 July 

also featuring
MARTIN PYNE vibraphone

Jazz violin virtuoso Luluk Purwanto studied at the Arts Institute in Yogyakarta, Central Java, and the Sydney Conservatorium.  As a member of the Indonesian fusion band Bhaskara, she performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 1985.  She lived in the Netherlands for many years, performing regularly with the René van Helsdingen Trio.  In a specially converted "Stage Bus" accommodating a travelling stage complete with grand piano, she toured extensively through Canada, Australia, Indonesia, USA and Europe. Luluk often sings as she plays, blending her voice with the sound of the violin.  She is also an imaginative painter and photographer.  She now lives in Munich.

​Luluk will be appearing together with vibraphonist and composer Martin Pyne.  Martin is already familiar to Bracknell Jazz audiences as he has played drums for us several times (including last July's gig with Luluk - see photo gallery below).
