When Enkhjargal Dandarvaanchig (a.k.a. Epi) and Park Stickney first shared a stage, something clicked. Two wildly different instruments—the Mongolian Morin Khuur and the pedal harp—suddenly started speaking the same language. The result?  a genre-crossing duo that’s as unexpected as it is captivating.  They first met onstage in 1998 at Rüdiger Oppermann’s Klangwelten festival.  Though their paths have crossed in group projects since, Horse Violin & Jazz Harp is their first duo collaboration—a long-awaited and unexpected musical meeting that feels both fresh and inevitable.

EPI | ENKHJARGAL DANDARVAANCHIG

Enkhjargal “Epi” Dandarvaanchig, master of the Mongolian violin and song, moves between cultures , blending the ancient sounds of the Morin Khuur with his powerful voice and a modern, improvisational edge. He takes tradition, bringing the soul of the steppe into every note, and spins it into something entirely his own. 

« A listening experience to forget everything else… enormous expressiveness… completely impressive… » (Badisches Tagblatt).

PARK STICKNEY

Park Stickney has played the world over, from Adelaide to Zaragoza.  Known best for his improvisational style and glib pithy anecdotes, Stickney offers concertgoers a delightfully novel approach to the harp, with a solid sense of humor, often offbeat but always good-natured.   But it’s not all jokes and friendliness:  As Peter Kemper noted in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung:  « Breathtaking, of unprecedented intensity..in Stickney’s playing, melodic lines, bass lines and chord progressions seem to interlock seemingly weightlessly. »
