Juli Deák (*2000) is part of a younger generation of musicians shaping the contemporary scene with quiet focus. Despite her age, her practice carries depth and discipline, grounded in classical training while remaining open to improvisation, jazz and folk inflection. Her artistic focus lies in the physical language of the flute itself — breath pressure, airflow, resonance, and the subtle mechanics of keys and metal. On flute and saxophone, she sustains melodic lines with patience, allowing phrases to unfold gradually and settle into the room. Her collaborations with KammarensembleN, Konstmusiksystrar, VENI ensemble and several symphony orchestras, as well as jazz groups reflect a commitment to shared exploration. Alongside this, in her band Haldamas x Hulajdusza jazz phrasing meets traditional folk material through attentive interplay and rhythmic clarity. Her latest project with Abdullah Miniawy and Isak Hedtjärn, The Evens, Rahma is a fragile interplay of voice and instruments. In her words, “I am creating stillness in motion."
