Fritz Kreisler, Béla Bartók, Georg Breinschmid, Avsenik and Balkan masters
A musical transcendental breakfast par excellence. How do these traditional dishes sound: kaymak and jam, or čevapčiči with ‘matevž’ (a traditional Slovenian dish made from beans and potatoes)? These would be entirely appropriate subtitles for a concert that will take us on a journey through the musical genetic code of many local people. The Alps glow, Balkan vitamins heal and relax, and Austro-Hungarian effervescence ties everything together into a whole. The programme combines the incompatible; it celebrates, plays and dances with our feelings, offering therapy and swaying to the rhythms of the polka, the waltz and the ländler, as well as Balkan dances such as čoček, horo, kolo, sirba and šota, thus enabling us to break through geographical boundaries, limitations, dogmas or decorum. We can look forward to an Austro-Hungarian-Balkan wreath with many unexpected twists, transforming a classical concert in a park into something entirely non-classical. Forget about artificial crossover creations, the only music you will hear is a modern soundtrack, “Made in Slovenia”.
