Folkloric Influences

East European music is often influenced by regional folk music. Bartók and Janáček’s string quartets are good examples of this folk influence with their dancing momentum.

The musicians will also perfom Italian composer Giacinto Scelsi’s String Trio. This work will be recorded shortly to complete the CD box set of the complete string quartets by Scelsi on ATMA Classic label.
