Édition 2021
Trip into the Yiddish and Gypsy soul.
“It is a memorial for life!” Ivry Gitlis.
Ever since it was founded in 2003, the Sirba Octet has championed the musical traditions of the Jewish and Gypsy communities in Eastern Europe. Tantz! means “dance” in Yiddish, and it takes us on a virtuoso journey with pieces inspired by traditional styles like the doina, the hora and the sirba.
This spinning, poetic trip through Eastern Europe skips from Romania to Moldavia to Russia via Hungary, borders are there to be ignored. The emotion and excitement that the klezmorims bring to celebrations and weddings in villages will light up the Easter Festival!
