Three friends Jub, Peter and Liz — having performed both classical and gypsy music together for many years — created this unique ensemble to share with audiences their passion for the music of the Eastern European Gypsies.
They explore how this music fired the imaginations of classical composers and how classical music influenced the development of gypsy music.
Their debut programme “The Esterhazy Connection” is inspired by the interaction between Haydn and the 18th century Hungarian Gypsies.
The trio's repertoire includes the exciting gypsy violin music of Transylvania and Macedonian, as well as Bosnian wedding music, Greek lute melodies and Jewish street melodies.
Their performances also explore the connections between classical, folk and improvisational music, all of which can suit the spirit of weddings and festivals as well as more conventional concert settings.
