Czarkologie was created in 2010 by pianist/composer Anthony Czarnecki and violinist/conductor Eileen Kosasih.
The music of Czarkologie is rooted in Anthony’s jazz compositions (first performed and recorded by the Gerry Hebert Quartet). Anthony rewrote and arranged his music in classical style for the duo to perform as Czarkologie. The original music of Czarkologie explores rich traditions of structure, color and rhythmic diversity from classical and jazz to world and modern sources.
Before joining forces, Eileen and Anthony enjoyed diverse performing careers around Canada and the US.
Anthony enjoyed stints which included Barrage, Stage West, Alberta Ballet, and cruise companies.
Eileen most recently directed in the pit for Front Row Centre Theatre’s “Mystery of Edwin Drood.”
Both Eileen and Anthony studied instrumental music performance in university and attribute much of their success and versatility to the variety and wealth of independent work they have done.
