Rue Protzer & Louis Protzer

A dialogue between acoustic guitar and piano

Music between jazz, classical and neo-classical traditions – intimate, atmospheric and deeply expressive.

About the Project

Rue Protzer & Louis Protzer is a collaborative project between father and son, bringing together two generations and two distinct musical voices. The result is a contemporary sound world that moves naturally between jazz, classical and neo-classical influences, while remaining entirely acoustic and deeply personal.
Centered around the intimate dialogue between acoustic guitar and piano, the music unfolds with patience, subtlety and emotional depth. Rather than virtuosity, the focus lies on atmosphere, silence and the shared art of musical storytelling.
