Acclaimed Czech violonist Iva Bittová in Sydney

(This article expired 11.12.2017 / 10:53.)

Idiosyncratic violinist and singer Iva Bittová brings extraordinary musicianship to Sydney festival 2015. "She has the soul of a gypsy, the voice of a troubadour, and the mind of a genius".
 

With a sound that traverses Moravian folk, classical music and avant-garde improvisation, Bittová is a unique composer and performer. She’s collaborated with the likes of Marc Ribot and John Zorn and drawn comparisons to Laurie Anderson and Meredith Monk, but it’s her masterful ability to combine violin, vocals and theatrics that highlights her genius.

On Tuesday 20 January in City Recital Hall, Angel Place, Iva Bittová together with Hana Kotková will perform Variations on Béla Bartók - 44 Duets.


For her solo Sydney show on the 21 January in The Famous Spiegeltent in Hyde Park, Bittová plays songs from her latest album, Entwine/Proplétám, along with improvised work in an uninhibite display of both sklil and passion.
