Minja Mijuskovic Nonet

consists of a jazz quintet and a string quartet. Imagine the colorful sounds and the powerful drive of a jazz quintet with two unique saxophonists meeting the tenderness and sweeping sound of strings. This music might make you homesick or nostalgic, flowing freely and effortlessly with everyone on stage totally immersed in the soundscape. Nonet welcomes you to experience vision of Para-normal existence, which they will express through jazz-impressionistic pieces composed by Minja.This Band has played on the Keep an Eye Jazz Award 2026, on which their band member Yehorii Uzhva has won “the best soloist” prize.Minja Mijuskovic Nonet is the WINNER of “Down Beat” Magazine Award 2026 in the category for Small Jazz Ensemble/Combo.
