Stanser Musiktage Festival – Switzerlandby Christine Johnstone |
The Stanser Musiktage Festival was held in Stans, Switzerland from April 30th to May 5th. The event featured a variety of soloists and groups entertaining including the group “Éan” (pictured below) which includes accordionist Roman Bausch. “Éan” is Irish Gaelic and means bird. This fits in with the airy and light Irish folk music of this Swiss Quartet. The Albin Brun Quartett which includes accordionist Patricia Draeger entertained with an emotional range of music based on the high pulse of contemporary life, and also gives room to today's longing for simplicity and depth. The Roland-von Flüe Echo Quintett includes Julian von Flüe (accordion) and Roland-von Flüe (saxophone and clarinet) plus other backing instruments, who play a variety of folk music. |
