With their bold approach to string music and exciting stage presence, Fuse is a one-to-watch formation on the cutting edge of Dutch musical life. This Amsterdam sextet has been showing outstanding instrumental and artistic talent and performed over 600 shows in nearly 6 years, at a wide range of stages, festivals, concert halls and theaters in the Netherlands and abroad. The group headlined stages such as the The Concertgebouw, Wonderfeel festival, Classical:Next and SAIL, reaching audiences from 200 up to 30.000 people

Fuse’ original line-up (string quartet, double bass and percussion) enables them to develop a unique melting pot of styles and genres. Their approach results in a qualitative and sincere crossover experience that reflects the divers stylistic backgrounds of the band. Influences from classical music, jazz, folk and minimal music are organically present in their signature arrangements and attractive improvisations. 

Fuse finds their origin in the Neo-Classical underground scene in Amsterdam. Between 2012-2014 they organized monthly club-nights named ConFuse, which gained them popularity among a diverse audience and became an important kick-of for the young ensemble. In 2015, Fuse was invited to become a regular guest on popular TV-show Podium Witteman; a weekly live broadcast about music in which Fuse performs and presents 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 2016 Fuse’ released two studio albums containing music by Béla Bartók, Chris Thile, Nils Frahm, JacobTV, Frank Zappa, Maurice Ravel, Manuel de Falla, Michel Petrucciani among others. Both albums received nominations for a Dutch Edison Award and in 2019 Fuse won the Edison Classical Public Choice Award.
