‘Vivat, Bayan!’ Festival, Samara – Russiaby Rob Howard |
 From April 24th to 26th 2013 are the final concerts of the international festival ‘Vivat, Bayan!’ which takes place in the Samara region.The first ‘wave’ of the festival took place in early February and introduced the fiery compositions of the Canadian ensemble ‘Quartetto Gelato’. In early March the virtuoso accordionist Boyan Jovanovic together with his trio performed with the program ‘Serbian Mosaic’. In late April, the audience will get a surprise – an instrumental ‘battle’ of duos ‘1+1’ (Russia) and ‘Klezmer Reloaded’ (Austria). The duo ‘1+1’ unites two great Russian musicians - Valery Semin and Dmitry Kalinin. They are well - known in many countries because of their virtuoso performance of cover versions of popular songs (rock and pop music, melodies from movies) to the accompaniment of accordion and balalaika. Within 3 years of being formed, the duo ‘Klezmer Reloaded’, Alexander Shevchenko (accordion) and Maciej Golebiovski (clarinet), had become an extraordinary team with its own style of performance. ‘Klezmer’ literally translated: ‘Kle’ as an instrument and ‘Zmer’ as a melody. Immigrants from Poland and Ukraine, they have lived in Austria for 13 years and have presented in their work mixing of different musical cultures. The international festival ‘Vivat, Bayan!’ has taken place in the Samara region for 11 years with great success. |
