Concert

The Orient and the Balkans meet in Vienna: three musicians from Iran and Serbia break down intellectual and musical boundaries. Persian, Yiddish, Bulgarian, Greek, Armenian and Sephardic songs, Klezmer music and sung poetry ... These virtuoso musicians with a sense of melody and experimentation have created their unique style of world music. When challenged about Jewish music in their repertoire, the trio stress that their music is «depoliticised». (ron)
