Anna Jalkéus Group is a woman-led septet that uses elements from modern jazz, fusion, avant garde, and folk to create a sound that is adventurous and new. With harp, voice, two saxophones, guitar, piano, bass, and drums they utilize a wide range of textures; from ethereal and soaring to explosive and menacing. 

Jalkéus’ intriguing writing explores gripping personal themes as well as social issues like gender equality and refugee crises. The instrumentation is sophisticated and effective, utilizing the individual voice of each musician. Right at the center of their artistic world stands Estrogenia; the superheroine and equal rights warrior - a symbol of hope and power.

The Anna Jalkéus Group was formed during Jalkéus’ Artist Certificate studies in 2016, and their debut album “Estrogenia” was released in August of 2018 to highly positive reviews. All band members are alumni from the esteemed jazz program at University of North Texas, and in 2017 they received a Downbeat Award for Outstanding Small Group Performance. They did their first international tour in 2019 and look forward to meeting many new audiences in the future.
