Trio Klez-bal + Marin Bunea, Jean-Christophe Gairard, Mihai Trestian & Tcha Limberger . #FOTM10

Fiddlers on the Move . a folk violin project

Attention: For the 2nd concert below on Friday, March 7, there is a change in the lineup. Due to a double booking, Tcha Limberger will not be able to perform the entire concert and will be replaced by Vilmos Csikos. That evening, the quartet will therefore consist of Marin Bunea, Jean-Christophe Gairard, Mihai Trestian and Vilmos Csikos. Tcha Limberger may make a brief guest appearance.

Trio Klez-bal

Before the accordion and clarinet became inseparably associated with Klezmer music, it was originally primarily a string instrument tradition.

The trio "Klez-bal" offers a stripped-down and essential formula, featuring the three most typical and authentic instruments of Jewish music from Eastern Europe: the violin, the cimbalom, and the double bass.

Amit Weisberger, with his bow and voice, Mihai Trestian, a virtuoso on the cimbalom, and Eline Duerinck on the cello (and special guest for this occasion), will perform traditional Jewish wedding dances.

The Klezmer melodies will be surprisingly adapted so they can be danced as a 'bal folk'! So put on your best dancing shoes and come dance the Polka, Mazurka, Schottische, Bourrée, Waltz, and even the Tango...

Marin Bunea, Jean-Christophe Gairard, Mihai Trestian & Vilmos Csikos.

Born in northern Moldova and immersed in traditional music from an early age, Marin Bunea passionately carries forward the rich musical heritage he has inherited. As the fifth generation of an old lautar family from Baraboi-Edineț, his connection to this unique tradition runs deep. Marin is a violinist, conductor, arranger and composer specializing in traditional styles, performing both in Moldova and internationally. He describes the music of traditional lautari as “warm, spiritual, light, and full of brightness.” Reflecting on his craft, he says, “As a violinist, captivated by every technical detail, I am constantly amazed by the extraordinary technical mastery, stylistic refinement, and artistic brilliance of the lautari.”

French fiddler Jean-Christophe Gairard, a familiar face at Fiddlers on the Move, met Marin Bunea in Chișinău, Moldova, in April 2024. We are thrilled to now have both of them among the teachers and performers at Fiddlers on the Move.

For this special occasion, they will come together as a quartet with Hungarian double bassist Vilmos Csikos and Moldovan cimbalom virtuoso Mihai Trestian. Plus, multi-instrumentalist Tcha Limberger might make a surprise appearance to join them.

Together, these exceptional musicians breathe new life into Eastern European folk music, each bringing their unique style and background. Let the mesmerizing sounds of violin, cimbalom, and double bass sweep you away!
