David Helbock & Julia Hofer [Modern Jazz/Piano and Cello]

DAVID HELBOCK – piano
JULIA HOFER – electric bass, cello

David Helbock is Austria's flagship jazz pianist, whose virtuosity and creativity have been captivating audiences worldwide. His playing has earned him numerous awards, including prizes at the world's largest Jazz Piano Solo Competition in Montreux, and being given the 'Outstanding Artist Award' by the Austrian government.

In his latest project, Helbock has recruited the versatile electric bassist and cellist Julia Hofer from Vienna as his duo partner. Hofer has primarily made a name for herself in the pop world so far, whether through tours with the No Angels or appearances on German TV shows. In addition to her impressive online following on YouTube, where her videos engage millions of bass fans, she is now dedicating herself more intensively to jazz.

In September 2025, the duo released a new album on the internationally renowned label ACT Music. The album promises a fascinating mix of calm, dreamy original compositions and groovy jazz pieces that bear the duo's unmistakable style.

The album has garnered praise from the press and was included in „TheTimes“ (UK) best jazzalbums of 2025.

With inventive effects, rhythmic percussion elements in the grand piano, and the dynamic switch between cello and electric bass, these concerts promise an extraordinary experience and a musical journey full of emotion and innovation.
