Beyondsemble is a fresh new band playing some of the most exciting, energetic and enchanting acoustic music to come out of New Zealand in recent times.

Specialising in diversity and with a strong improvisational edge, Beyondsemble’s repertoire covers a vast scope of styles including gypsy, Eastern European, Latin, tango, pop, jazz, swing, rocksteady, bluegrass and Celtic. An eclectic mix of tunes and songs both original and sourced from around the globe executed with virtuosic skill, passion, energy and joy.

Local music maestro Nathan Torvik joins the group for guest appearances. Music to move you and make you move.
