Almir Mešković & Daniel Lazăr

Bosnian accordionist Almir Meskovic and Romanian-Serbian violinist Daniel Lazar, refugees from both sides of a war, met in Norway to develop a pan-Balkan music repertoire expanded with original compositions and Scandinavian influences and performed with breathtaking virtuosity! They each have more than 20 years of experience with both classical and traditional music.

The two combine their musical roots from the Balkans with influences from many other modern styles such as classical music and jazz in a very special way. They present a range of styles and genres, from Balkan rhythms and Slavic and Scandinavian songs to Mozart and Roma music. Their main motif, however, is to pick up on the momentum that all this music has developed over the centuries.
