This musical group attracts the attention of the audience thanks to its unusual composition, way of playing and diverse repertoire. It is composed of their own arrangements and original works and draws inspiration from ethnic music from different parts of the world combined with elements of jazz and improvisation. With its lively and moving music and youthful energy, the Gankino Quintet is able to make its audience dance while awakening the innermost emotions. They have performed in chamber spaces, music halls or in the open air, and have given concerts at major music festivals such as Smetana's Litomyšl, Monastery Music Festival or MusicFest Brno.
