Utilizing their signature line-up (a string quartet with double bass and drums) the band is able to evolve from their classical and jazz roots and bring a unique style to the stage. Both improvised and written music are organically part of the band’s energetic, technically complex but catching live sets. Fuse finds it’s origins as trailblazers of a new classical music movement in Amsterdam in 2012. Against the background of a crumbling cultural landscape, a group of like-minded music students start their own concerts series. For two years Fuse hosted monthly club-nights, which became an important kick-off for the young ensemble. Since 2015, Fuse is the house band on a Dutch TV-show about classical music and related genres, where they showcase their favorite music. It marked their breakthrough to the general public. The group appeared multiple times on Dutch daily talkshows and featured on public radio, in newspapers and magazines. Since their founding, Fuse played over 1500 shows. Some concert highlights are performances at The Concertgebouw, Wigmore Hall, The Prinsengracht Concert, Festival Wonderfeel and international showcase festivals SXSW and Eurosonic. In 2019 Fuse was awarded the Dutch Edison Public Choice Award. The 2024 eclectic album Mikrokosmos sets a new mark for the group and was collaboratively created by Fuse and composers and songwriters such as Bryce Dessner (The National), Miho Hazama (M-Unit/Metropole Orchestra), Gabriel Kahane, Joey Roukens and Gabriella Smith among others.
