Luluk Purwanto & the Helsdingen Trio are a cosmopolitan group whose common denominator is a love and passion for creative and original modern jazz. Luluk comes from the island of Java, Indonesia, and performs on violin and voice, creating a unique approach that captures her cultural heritage. The repetoire is a blending of musical cultures representing Indonesia, America and the Netherlands.

Born Free is a music project touring the United States reviving a tradition from the earliest days of American jazz, when musicians travelled with band buses, carrying their music to 'out of town' dancehalls.
