ELINA DUNI & ROB LUFT [at EHSAA]

Elina Duni: Vocals
Rob Luft: Guitar

In 2017, Elina Duni and Rob Luft’s paths crossed at the Montreux Jazz Festival, marking the inception of a unique project. They have since toured the world and released two critically acclaimed albums on ECM Records in a quartet formation.

For this session, they’ll be promoting their new 2026 album, Reaching for the Moon. A stripped-back duo effort, it revisits the essence of their initial meeting.

Here we can witness the stark beauty of Elina Duni’s vocals blending with Rob Luft’s crystalline guitar lines in a mesmerizing dance. Together, they weave a tapestry of songs that evoke the mystery and joy of the night, the moon, and the magic that lives within us all. This musical journey is a gentle caress, a soothing lullaby that offers hope in the darkness, reminding us of the solace of home.

Born in Albania but now living in Geneva, Elina won the Swiss Music Prize in 2017. Rob was crowned ‘Instrumentalist of the Year’ in the 2025 Parliamentary Jazz Awards.
