NOW CANCELLED – A Night with The Balkanics

*THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED*

As an organisation we are of course monitoring and responding to the ongoing COVID-19 outbreak situation daily and this decision has been made in the interest of ensuring that we prioritise the health and safety of our staff, clients and community members first and foremost. ALL TICKET SALES WILL BE FULLY REFUNDED. 

Enjoy the energetic, infectious eccentrically melodic music of The Balkanics this March at the QMC. This performance will capture the high-energy, very danceable sound of the Balkan region, with traditional tunes as well as those Gypsy or Roma in origin. Many of their original compositions are inspired by many years of studying, playing and living these most vibrant of musical cultures.

Featuring five accomplished musicians who have been playing together in different combinations for several decades, The Balkanics will intoxicate you, the hypnotic energy of their improvisations dragging you onto the dance floor. Cast away your worldly woes and be transported to a universe inhabited by extravagant rhythmic variation and catchy melodic invention.

The Balkanics include Anthony Pizzica (rezouki, tambura), Linsey Pollak (sax, gaida, clarini), Philip Griffin (electric bass, tambura), Ric Halstead (sax, flute) & Tunji Beier (drums).
