Oktopus - Folklore from the East

Music From Here and Abroad

The folk music of Eastern Europe exercised a great influence on classical musicians. Rooted geographically in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, its traditions prompted composers such as Liszt and Brahms to borrow certain of its elements, enabling the Oktopus ensemble to offer us an original reading of the classical repertoire, à la hongroise.

In connection with the lecture given by Gabriel Paquin-Buki at 5:30 p.m. Click here for more details.
