Holger Jetter studied Western Classical music, with the principal instrument being violin, at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich, Germany and at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Austria with Prof. Jürgen Geise. He went on to study further with Lynn Blakeslee and Jean-Jacques Kantoroff in Nice, France, and completed his violin education.
Holger’s strong affinity to improvised music led to the formation of the “Modern String Quartet.” Fresh sounding string arrangements and many original compositions contributed to the wide success of the ensemble.
In the following six years of collaboration involving more than 1000 concerts and two CD productions, the quartet toured several times with well known artists such as Constantin Wecker, Joan Baez and Mercedes Sosa.
He built, together with his partner Tina Suchanek, the project recording studio “Sunshine Music Studio”. Holger currently lives with his family in Auroville, South India.

Cuban singer, Doris Lavin, was the opening act at the Shisha International Jazz Fest in Pune, Banglore & Bombay in November 2014.
Doris Lavin was hailed by Cuban trumpeter Lázaro Herrera as one of the timeless Soneras to sing salsa, putting her in such vaulted company as Celia Cruz and La Lupe. After establishing herself as an in-demand singer in Cuba, Lavin relocated to Italy in 1996, which did nothing to lessen her busy touring schedule.
She has performed with Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Félix Valoy, Patato Valdés, and the Conjunto Folklorico Naciónal De Cuba. A self-titled debut album featuring Dagoberto González and Alain Pérez was released in 2003.
