«SIRBA OCTET » - in the heart of the Yiddish and Gypsy soul
In partnership with the Festival of the Black Perigord.
SIRBA OCTET
A genuine journey into the heart of the Yiddish and gypsy soul in the enchanting charm of the gardens of Eyrignac ... that's what these eight musicians from Sirba Octet are offering with an original reading of the repertoire that was the birthplace of many musicians .
These are classics that have an important place in the collective unconscious and personal culture of each. These themes are alive, they are hummed, danced, and let themselves be reinterpreted throughout ages, regions, routes and stories.
A colorful evening in which the virtuosity and emotion can be found in those tunes marked by the wandering of a people in an orchestration constantly oscillating between chamber and traditional music with musicians, all of them members of the most prestigious musical orchestras, who are succeeding the challenge of bringing genres together, from laughter to tears, from nostalgia to joy ...
An outsanding evening for the 30th anniversary of the Festival of the Black Perigord.
