The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Information is pleased to present an evening of Yvette Holzwarth and Miroslav Tadić performing their new project for voice, violin, and guitar, BalkanAmericana.
YVETTE HOLZWARTH (violin and vocals) & MIROSLAV TADIĆ (guitar)
“BALKANAMERICANA”
After their successful debut album Luka, which primarily featured creative versions of music from the Balkan region, Holzwarth and Tadić are introducing their new project BalkanAmericana. Finding the inner threads that connect people from all over the world through art and music, they show us many deep connections and meeting points between the music of cultures that initially seem to be quite distant. They will effortlessly take you from the Macedonian Šar mountain to New Orleans and back, then sail you from California to the Dalmatian coast in an instant, and so the journey continues...“Two world-class musicians that weave a magical musical tapestry ...”
