Quote by Thomas Koner

“I would almost say that in our solo activities there is an overarching line of thought that is Porter Ricks itself. Our solo work delivers the details.

Our belief in the power of music is something that really needs a strong position in order to keep it up for a lifetime - and hopefully even beyond. We don't want to miss out on the chance to give food for thought to other generations that may relate to it in a way that is not yet foreseeable.”
