Janoska, an eastern breeze in the world of classical
Ondrej Janoska, violin
Roman Janoska, violin,
Frantisek Janoska, piano
Julius Darvas, double bass
A family affair! Comprising the three brothers Ondrej, František and Roman Janoska, originally from Bratislava, and their brother-in-law Julius Darvas, the Janoska ensemble performs on the most prestigious stages, from the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam to the Konzerthaus in Vienna, as well as in Paris, Hamburg, Munich and Budapest.
They revisit the great works of the repertoire and reinterpret them with incredible punch. In a style that is entirely their own, combining jazz, pop, improvisation and the popular traditions of Central Europe, they break all the codes of classical music.
Tonight, they offer us their take on famous pieces by Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart – and even McCartney! A unique musical vision, full of life and colour, to rediscover pieces that we thought we had heard too many times.
