The Southern Cimbalom. Metamorfosis
In this performance Ikarus Stage Arts will share two extracts of their concerts The Southern Cimbalom and Metamorfosis
The Southern Cimbalom is a concert of solo cimbalom – a Eastern European string/percussion instrument – performed by the Chilean musician Rodrigo Contreras. In a journey through Balkan traditional melodies, original compositions and adaptations of Latin-American music for cimbalom, this concert invites the audience to think over the yearning for home from the point of view of a foreigner.
For the second part of the concert, the rest of the musical ensemble will join the cimbalom in order to perform metamorfosis, a piece that invites to reflect about what can blossom between the ashes of the difficulties life sometimes bring our way . The whole ensemble will continue this journey through international music bringing energy, joy and just the right amount of melancholy to everyone in the room.
