Description
Common Playgrounds – an album from an unforgettable concert. Slovak children’s folk songs, Tibor Feledi’s jazz quintet, a 30-member choir, a string quartet and a full courtyard of the Old Town Hall in Bratislava – that was the concert “Common Playgrounds” at the Konvergencie Festival in autumn 2022. The response was so strong and the recording so successful that we bring it to you on CD and LP. Because there is never enough good music.
More about the title
We love it when something new and inspiring is created. Common Playgrounds brings together several musical and human planes – Slovak folk songs, modern jazz, string quartet, choir – these connections are close to our hearts at Konvergencie. We combine to create something new. At the Konvergencie festival we succeeded, the concert was so well played and had such a good atmosphere that we decided to take the experience further. We hope that you will enjoy this music as much as we did when we listened to it in the courtyard of the Old Town Hall in September 2022.
