PROGRAM

MAKEDONISSIMO

Transcriptions of traditional Macedonian music by Pande Shahov in collaboration with Simon Trpčeski

Pande SHAHOV

Pletenki : Plaits (Les tresses)

ABOUT

Makedonissimo, which means “very Macedonian”, sees pianist Simon Trpčeski take a detour through Beethoven and Brahms to celebrate the music of his native country. He takes listeners on a joyful journey through the incredible rhythms and haunting melodies of the Macedonian folk music tradition, in which highly complex, jazz-influenced riffs and harmonies intertwine in a natural way.

Inspired by Simon Trpčeski’s passion for the folk traditions of his homeland, Macedonian composer Pande Shahov created a six-movement cycle he called Pletenki (Braids). In these arrangements, Shahov fuses his own world of sound – influenced by impressionist attitudes to jazz resonance and harmony – with traditional Macedonian music.
