The virtuoso violinist Richard Schmoucler, artistic director of the renowned French ensemble Sirba Octet, pays tribute to the traditional music of his ancestral lands. A program called Tanzt! / Dance! the ensemble built perfect bridges between the past and the present and connected Romanian, Moldovan, Russian and Hungarian melodies. All Sirba Octet musicians are true masters of their instruments, but they enhance the interpretive virtuosity with an attractive informal expression of folk musicians. Two violins, viola, cello, bass, clarinet, dulcimer and piano - welcome to festival festivities full of catchy songs, elemental klezmer dances and endless energy!
