Adrian Jost began his musical studies on accordion in Switzerland. At the age of 11, he began studying the Bayan with Fritz Tschannen and Stephane Chapuis. His formal collegiate studies were actually in the Sciences, earning a Bachelor’s of Science degree.
In 1996, with a grant from the global, electro-technology firm Landis & Gyr, Adrian pursued a Master’s degree from Northwestern University, just outside of Chicago. It was here in the US Midwest that Adrian discovered Tango and began applying his musical talents to learning the instrument that epitomizes the sound of this latin dance form - the bandoneón. In 2001, he co-founded Trio Garufa, a popular San Francisco based tango group that has enthralled audiences throughout the West Coast, Argentina, Colombia and Europe.
Adrian brings authentic emotional authority to tango music and is currently in collaboration with Argentinian pianist Pablo Estigarribia of Buenos Aires. Find out more by visiting: Adrian's Website.
