GYPSY NIGHTS



(Christopher Duigan (centre) with Elana & Boris Kerimov)

Christopher Duigan (piano) is joined once again by Russian virtuosi Boris (cello) and Elena Kerimov (violin) in a concert titled Gypsy Nights taking place in Pietermaritzburg on August 29.

Having created a massive popular following with regular concerts in KZN several years ago, the three - known as the Kerimov Trio - unite once again with their spellbinding blend of music. In a selection of classic and popular music from eastern Europe, Hungary and Russia, much of the music takes on a traditional 'gypsy' style featuring super-exciting violin playing.

Expect to hear Dark Eyes, Moscow Nights, Monti's Czardas, Whistle Hora, Sabre Dance, Papirossi plus music by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff and more. The combination of the superbly varied repertoire and enthusiastic performance makes any concert by these three highly skilled musicians an entertaining experience.

Gypsy Nights takes place on August 29 at 19h30 at 35 Montgomery Drive, Athlone in Pietermaritzburg. There is secure parking. Tickets R120 include wine and other refreshments. Booking is essential on email: booking@musicrevival.co.za or through Music Revival offices on  033 342 3051 or sms 083 417 4473.
