Classical Twist' @ Glór

Monday, 30 April 2012 12:58

Ennis N.S. band, along with all the 4th classes ‘Swinging Strings’ pupils, went to Glór last week for Vladimir Jablokov’s “Classical Twist” performance. Virtuoso violinist Vladimir comes from four generations of professional musicians in Bratislava.  Question time  Vladimir with fellow Slovakian John and friend Damien.  He arrived in Ireland in 2004 without a word of English and began busking in Grafton Street. He went on to form the Slovak Dulcimer Ensemble and eventually the Slovak Festival Orchestra. They have since played everywhere from Áras an Uachtaráin to the National Concert Hall to Carnegie Hall in New York. More questions  Vladimir developed the Classical Twist – classical pieces with a modern twist – concept in 2010, and has been delighting both school audiences and general audiences all over the country with it since. Our pupils were very impressed with the virtuoso violin playing, and a few brave souls got up on stage to dance along with the music. Hopefully our young violinists were inspired to go home and practise like mad …
