Their performances blend compositional forms, infectious grooves, and unconventional melodies, often originating from experimentation and free play. In Ponga, every member of the trio – violist Yanna Pelser, guitarist Timon Koomen, and drummer/percussionist Remco Menting – switches between percussive, melodic, and harmonic roles, resulting in eclectic performances that encompass a variety of musical styles, including soundscapes, rock, jazz, classical and global music.
Formed in 2023, with Yanna joining two former members of the acclaimed trio Kapok, Ponga is a relatively new group consisting of seasoned performers, who, with over 15 years of performance experience in the Dutch and international jazz and classical scenes, bring a wealth of expertise to the group.
Remco, rooted in improvised jazz and African drumming, is always on the lookout for new sounds and instruments in his already unusual percussion setup. Jazz guitarist Timon would bring 10 guitars on stage if it was possible; if only it were to be able to subtly choose the right feeling for the music. Yanna, mainly rooted in classical music, is challenged by the formation to find new creative ways on her viola.
The members also share a background in theatre, which contributes to their distinctive stage presence often marked by the change of multiple outfits. This visual diversity complements their contrasting musical pieces, promoting progressive change and critiquing conservatism.
