Groove Europa

In the organizer's words:

Large ensemble with classics of music from Vivaldi to Monti's fiery Csárdás.

"Groove Europe" takes you on a sonic journey across the continent - from baroque dance halls to classical Vienna and the pulsating rhythms of the 20th century. Well-known masterpieces such as Mozart's 40th Symphony, Beethoven's 7th, Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances or Ravel's jazz-inspired Violin Sonata appear in a completely new light: surprisingly arranged, colorful and full of energy.

You will experience how Vivaldi's "La Folia", Shostakovich's famous waltz or Monti's fiery Csárdás are set in motion - sometimes with chamber music finesse, sometimes with orchestral force and grooving percussion power. The unusual line-up of string quartet, piano, clarinet and percussion combines precision with the joy of playing and blurs the boundaries between eras, styles and genres.

This concert is also a foretaste of the forthcoming CD "Groove Europa" - an evening that invites you to be amazed, to tap along and to dream.
