Zero Point by Hadar Noiberg and Katia Toobool

ZERO POINT – the debut collaborative recording from award-winning flutist, composer, arranger, and producer Hadar Noiberg and pianist/composer Katia Toobool – is a bold sonic journey where genres dissolve, and new musical landscapes emerge. Blending intimate duo performances with lush full-ensemble works featuring the acclaimed Finale String Quartet, the album interweaves original compositions by both artists with influences ranging from classical music and Brazilian rhythms to jazz and beyond, creating a sound world that is at once lyrical, dynamic, and fearlessly exploratory.


Set for release in August 2025, ZERO POINT is preceded by two singles: “Firenze” (July 30, 2025) and “Mozart Reimagined” (August 14, 2025).

The collaboration between Noiberg and Toobool began at a women’s jazz festival, where they performed a tribute to Alice Coltrane. The musical chemistry was immediate, sparking a series of duo concerts and workshops that deepened their intuitive dialogue. Despite their distinct musical backgrounds, their partnership is defined by emotional resonance, fluid interplay, and a shared sense of adventure. Inspired by their synergy, Noiberg envisioned expanding the project to incorporate a string quartet—arranging each piece to merge the classical precision of the quartet with the improvisational spirit of the duo.


The album’s creative daring is epitomized in works such as a Mozart flute quartet where the entire middle section is improvised, and an Alice Coltrane piece reimagined with the quartet joining in free improvisation. Recorded live at the sextet’s premiere performance, ZERO POINT captures the electricity and immediacy of in-the-moment creation.

“From the beginning, I felt like Katia and I had a special bond,” says Noiberg. “She’s an incredible musician—deep, technically brilliant, with amazing ears. I could go anywhere musically, and she would be right there with me.”


With its blend of structure and spontaneity, ZERO POINT is not just a meeting of genres, but a meeting of minds—an album that expands the possibilities of what chamber jazz can be.

ASCAP award winning flutist and Trevor James artist, Hadar Noiberg, is pushing the boundaries of what is means to be a bandleader in today's world.

From Classical to jazz, Brazilian Choro to Middle Eastern Music, Hadar’s eclectic musical background and experience has led her to create her own style that fuses all those influences seamlessly in her compositions and in her style of playing.
