''Balkan Passion'' with Anton Violinist & Friends

Description

After the great success of the last season with the tango-dedicated program, the violinist Anton Jablokov returns to Einsiedeln Monastery with his new project “Balkan Passion”. As every year, he presents a new concert program that always meets with great enthusiasm from the audience and is regularly sold out. In this program, Eastern European folk music is newly interpreted through original arrangements written specifically for this ensemble. The concert unfolds a dialogue between passionate dances, captivating gypsy rhythms, and nostalgia-tinged ballads, in which centuries-old melodies are brought to life anew in a sophisticated and virtuosic sound language. The basic idea of the project is that folk music represents a universal cultural heritage that connects people through immediate energy and emotion. ✨ THE SOLOISTS: Anton Jablokov - A young violinist, born in Bratislava and now based in Ticino.
