For a long number of years, as members of the Classical Revolution organization, the Wonder Strings have been organizing gigs in Belgrade cafes and clubs. Classical Revolution is a San Francisco-based organization promoting classical music in a somewhat different, unconventional way. Concerts and performances are held in cafes and clubs, gigs are a lot like jam sessions with alternating performers, styles and concepts. This is an opportunity for people to sip their drinks while listening to top quality performances at very affordable prices while musicians feel more relaxed in this atmosphere all of which results in greater interaction between the audience and the performers.
Members of the Wonder Strings Quartet have been developing this idea of an informal presentation of classical and related music through the project called The Belgrade Secret Weapon. Joining the Wonder Strings at their performances are their colleagues from various fields of music – percussionists, jazz singers, ethno musicians and others.
This time around the gig was held at a secret location in Vračar. On their arrival our guests were asked for a password and the event took place in a beautiful lounge-kind of space. Joining the quartet was its long-time associate, percussionist Aleksandar Sale Radulović who played the cajon. Take a peek!
