With a sound that pairs distinctive female vocals and complex folk rhythms with contemporary elements, Balkan Ethno Orchestra have assembled a unique repertoire that preserves and rejuvenates century-old songs from Eastern Europe. Formed in 2019 by friends with a love of Balkan music, the Orchestra’s blend of traditional and modern genres gives new life to forgotten songs for today's generation.
Workshop:
This workshop will showcase the traditional circle dances known as ‘kolo’ from central Serbia. The session will be run by previous members of the highly-acclaimed National Ensemble Kolo from Serbia. The audience will become familiar with the infectious, toe-tapping rhythms of kolo dancing, learn the steps and participate in a group kolo accompanied by live music from the Balkan Ethno Orchestra.
