Come to enjoy beautiful music in the wonderful vaulted hall of the Disdsbury Baptist Church.

"Our project called „Honey and Blood“ presents our original arrangements of the most beautiful tunes from the Balkan Peninsula as well as some of our original pieces inspired by the idiom of the culture of that region.What we love the most about this music is the abundance of unusual exotic melodies as well as the tremendous contrasts of style and character.You can be swept by a wild exuberant dance and next minute indulged by the sweetest of melodies.

There is a variety of etymological explanations of the origine of the word Balkan but the one we like best comes from the Turkish- Bal = honey and kan = blood. We believe it goes so well with the spirit of the music we play."
