The drive of a wedding band
The melancholy of a poem
the depth of a string quartet
Re-mixed in an a-cappella robe
of 6 clarinets and 6 cultures
The clarinet is the most popular instrument in South Eastern Europe besides the violin, yet numerous divergent performance techniques have emerged from area to area. The Balkan Clarinet Summit that takes place in Serbia, Bosnia, Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria and Turkey, brings together local masters of the clarinet and important representatives of the international clarinet music scene to combine, contrast and mix the fascinating variety of this widespread folk-like instrument with the interpretive culture of both classical and jazz traditions.
