The Vardar Ensemble feat. Special Guest Miroslav Tadić
About this Event
Join us for an evening of contemporary and traditional Balkan music at the Moss Theater, marking the debut performance of The Vardar Ensemble and featuring special guest guitarist Miroslav Tadić. The program showcases a dynamic set of music from Southeastern Europe, with a special focus on Macedonian izvor music. Listeners will experience everything from the haunting beauty of lyrical melodies like Zajdi, zajdi to high-energy dances like Pajduško.
The Vardar Ensemble brings together Yvette Holzwarth (violin), Mikey Aboutboul (oud), and Aziz Yehia (percussion), alongside Marko Danilovski, a young master of kaval, an ancient end-blown flute known for its breathy tone and somber character.
Miroslav Tadić is a master of blending a variety of influences from Baroque to Flamenco into the deep folkloric traditions of the Balkans. Tadić is globally celebrated for his expansive body of original solo work and his iconic collaborations with Vlatko Stefanovski, Theodosii Spassov, Merima Ključo, Dušan Bogdanović, Teofilović brothers, among many others. This program will also spotlight his ongoing duo with Yvette Holzwarth, a collaboration that has taken them on frequent tours across Eastern Europe and led to their debut album Luka.
