Taking their name from the memoirs of Dmitri Shostakovich, Yurodny was founded in 2007 by saxophonist and composer Nick Roth. The ensemble was built on the principle that in order for intelligent communication to take place between people, the language of one must be absorbed by the other.

Taking this to be the case for the language of Music, Yurodny pursure the belief that in spite of the diversity of humanity in this world, there is a common source language that is able to be recognised and understood instantly by speakers anywhere around the globe.

This belief has led to a deep fascination with a range of diverse repertoire, and leads to constant collaborations with leading musicians from around the world  in a constant quest for meaning, understanding and the ability to express this with the traditional powers of music; Celebration, Lamentation, Storytelling, Meditation, Education, and Ceremony.
