The Sounds of the Aegean @ Chian Federation
The Turks and the Greeks´ love towards the sound of the clarinet coming from the Aegean region is no secret. What better way to celebrate this love than through a night of music, food and dancing? Hüsnü Senlendirici and Vassilis Saleas are two of the most virtuosic clarinetists in southeastern Europe and luckily for us, they will be in town for a rare performance together. Senlendirici has collaborated with Al Di Meola, tabla legend Zakir Hussain and Bulgarian clarinetist Ivo Paposov, while Saleas is best known for his work accompanying Greek new age instrumentalist Vangelis. Backing the two clarinetists will be NY Gypsy All-Stars, a non-stop party band steeped in the traditions of Turkish and Balkan music but equally fluent in contemporary jazz and dance.
