WhereWolfgang Amadeus Mozart Slivovitz drinks and Ludwig van Beethoven eats ćevapčići, where Johann Sebastian Bach is seasoned with Balkan spice and the wild south meets classical music—there is where Balkalito feels at home. Stirred up and shaken thoroughly, rhythmically driven and finely refined, the international clarinet–accordion–double bass–and-percussion quartet transforms every kind of chamber music into a wild journey of discovery.
In this way, the creative musicians bring classical music to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to the Balkans, and the Balkans to Austria. Whether through arrangements of traditional folk music, newly reimagined classical works, or exciting original compositions, Balkalito’s bubbling mix delivers electrifying reinterpretations that move far beyond dusty conventions and clichés.
