Via Fucina (Bern)

For the Bernese quintet Via Fucina, music should be a free space that offers room for listening, storytelling, and responding. Camille Santacroce (vocals, piano, guitar, and composition), Nuria Kräuchi (electric bass), Basil Schreyer (drums), David Bayless (guitar and vocals), and Mattia Facchini (alto saxophone, bass clarinet, and synthesizer) improvise organically and intuitively. The result is a lively, multifaceted band that knows how to combine spontaneity with precision and the immeasurable with the minuscule thanks to its unique chemistry.
