Switzerland-based Balkan duo Harva will be playing at Burnett’s Hill Chapel, Martletwy on Wednesday, July 9,

The duo comprises two amazing musicians, one of whom is the accordion virtuoso Faith Ristic who gave an electrifying performance at the Pembrokeshire chapel in August 2023 as one half of Faith i Branko.

Sadly, Branko is not playing these days, due to health reasons, which is why Faith has forged a new musical partnership with another great Balkan fiddle-player, Viljo Busch.

Viljo has lived and studied music throughout Europe before settling in Switzerland. While he has a special interest in the gypsy music of Transylvania, his eclectic musical influences have led to performances alongside a wide rage of artists, including acclaimed jazz accordionist Richard Galliano.

Faith is one of the leading proponents of Serbian Roma music; two albums recorded with Branko reached the top 10 of the World Music Charts. Harva promise to take you on a journey through joyful Romanian wedding dances, emotive Roma songs, Swedish vocal harmonies, Breton dance tunes and Balkan blues and jazz.

The concert starts at 7.30pm. For tickets, call 01646 651725.
