Night of the Violin
During the Night of the Violin, the violin-loving public comes together at the bustling Park 6 and in the upper rooms of TivoliVredenburg. In and around the festival heart, the violin shakes off its good image and the most diverse violin sounds are heard.
The public is treated to a wide range of concerts; from jazz and rock to Scandinavian and Romanian folk music, from electronic to multidisciplinary and from improvisation to Turkish knee fiddle. There is even a traditional Fest Noz, Breton for Night Party, with gipsy and klezmer band Balcony Players where the audience will dance well into the night.
