story
As co-leaders of StarkLinnemann, we—Paul Stark (piano) and Jonas Linnemann (drums)—are consistently seeking musicians aligned with our broad vision. Our group’s versatility across diverse line-ups and musical genres is evident in our albums.
StarkLinnemann, featuring Iman Spaargaren, Maciej Domaradzki, and Anton Boiarskikh, has evolved into a distinguished ensemble. We continue to create original adventurous work by blending jazz and classical music. Our latest release, ‘Eroica,’ is now available under UCM Records. We perform regularly across the Netherlands and internationally. For live performance details, visit our Events page.
