About the event
BARJA & BOJAN
(Duo Terrafolk)
Bojan Cvetrežnik - guitar, violin, mandolin
Barja Drnovšek - violin, mandolin
Barja and Bojan are members of the Slovenian based band “Terrafolk” (BBC World Music Award). Bojan is a founder of international ‘Symbolic Orchestra’ and was a violinist-soloist at the Cirque du Soleil show ‘Varekai’. They are classically trained violinists that travel and learn diverse violin languages. Is it possible to perform a set of European folk from the Balkans music to Celtic tunes, original compositions and some virtuoso covers in the way that those cultures also belong together? Terrafolk proved it in hundreds of performances. Their music is searching for the points that different cultures have in common.
The duo performs also a set for traditional ‘Balfolk’ dances or classical crossover recital with a piano player David Gordon (UK). A wonderful touch with the live audience is their strong point rather than studio/internet music production. They founded an educational initiative Godalkanje.org and give workshops and lead educational initiatives among European violin teachers. Their students’ concert line up ‘Fiddle Gang’ performed in 6 European countries and got lots of attention among fiddle professionals with their videos. It is hard to identify with only one music scene in this world full of good things, but their show will stop the time and take you on a colourful and breath-taking journey.
