KLINCK TRIO
JAZZLAB
Klinck Trio brings together three distinctive voices from the Belgian music scene: violinist-composer Elisabeth Klinck, saxophonist Adia Vanheerentals, and pianist-producer Maya Dhondt. Together, they create slowly unfolding soundscapes in which melody and silence are interwoven, creating a delicate, childlike space of intimacy and discovery.
Elisabeth Klinck is a contemporary violinist, composer, and performer from Brussels, known for her timeless, profound sound worlds. Her albums Picture a Frame (2023) and Chronotopia—selected by The Quietus as one of the best albums of 2025—were released on the Swiss label Hallow Ground. She has previously collaborated with artists such as Valgeir Sigurdsson and Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe. In 2025, Elisabeth was selected as one of radio station Klara’s “De Twintigers,” a group of promising young artists shaping the future of Belgian classical music.
Adia Vanheerentals was also selected for Klara’s *De Twintigers* in 2024 and is the driving force behind Bodem, her trio with Anke Verslype and Willem Malfliet, with whom she toured with JazzLab in 2025. Maya Dhondt is a Brussels-based pianist and abstract virtuoso whose practice ranges from glitch-pop experiments to contemporary piano compositions.
“There’s poetry in the air when these three ladies join forces. There’s comfort in the gentle dissonance, beauty in the friction between the fragile and the raw.” - ★★★★ Knack Focus on their album My Hair Is Everywhere (2025)
"Pianissimo performance makes its own demand, but it's hard to imagine anyone disliking their music" - The Wire
