Music is a big universe - everything fits in it, and it never ends.

With virtuoso skill on his instruments, unexpected improvisations, full of good energy, the pianist Frantisek Janoska, his brothers - violinists Ondrej i Novel - as well as their son-in-law, a double bass player Julius Tarvas, won the hearts of the audience. The three brothers come from Bratislava and belong to the seventh generation of musicians in their family, while Darvas is from Germany and belongs to the third generation of musicians.

At the beginning they played the "Bat" overture Johan Strauss the Younger, and then presented their latest project, the album "The Four Seasons in Janoska Style", which was released last October by Deutsche Grammophon. Selected positions of different seasons were announced with charm by Darvas, and pianist František also addressed the audience. Positions such as Groovy Birds from Summer, The Dreaming Soul from Spring, 7/8 (Oro) from Autumn could be heard, as well as Dancing in the Snow and Sweet Home from Winter, and Storm was chosen for the end, like a summer storm. With applause and ovations, the ensemble played Monti's Csárdás as an encore, spiced with surprises - Cesarica, made famous by Oliver and Hay, Jude by the Beatles, which the audience sang with enthusiasm.

František Janoška stated that all members of the ensemble are extremely happy to have visited such a beautiful country as Montenegro for the first time.

"The audience and the ambiance at the Tivat Music Festival, in Luštica Bay, were extraordinary. The festival staff, the lights, and the sound - everything was perfect. We improvise a lot at the concert and the energy from the audience is important to us, which we received in full, as well as the energy of the beauty of this country. The people here are wonderful, the food too, and I think that's why the concert was fantastic. We are grateful for the invitation to perform here and I'm sure we will come again," said the pianist.

Julius Darvas is also pleased with the audience's reactions at the concert, as well as the opportunity for the ensemble to present its new work.

“I feel a great energy tonight. This is a beautiful country, and we really got great reactions from the audience. The best thing that can happen to a musician is to get this kind of applause. We were in a good mood and improvised a lot, and the audience responded to us and sang along. Baroque is a great basis for improvisation, at that time improvisation was completely natural. Vivaldi's Four Seasons is one of the most famous classical works, and it also celebrated its 300th anniversary since its publication. We wanted to bring it into the 21st century, in our own style. We prepared this album for about a month, so we locked ourselves in my house in Hungary. František wrote new passages. It is a great pleasure to play this piece. I am sure that if Vivaldi heard it today, he would say that there is an evolution in music and maybe he would like it. A lot has happened in music in 300 years and we made it with a little jazz, a little Argentine tango, with American rhythms, Balkan rhythms too. The music is so big the universe, that everything fits in it, and it never ends, it is open and evolution is infinite", Darvas emphasized.

One of the most exciting and innovative ensembles of today performed in a co-production of the International KotorArt Festival and the Tivat Music Festival, with the support of their partner Luštica Bay. Their performances in Boka are part of a world tour, so after Tivat, they will perform at KotorArt tonight in the Church of the Holy Spirit.

The second Tivat Music Festival takes place from June 18th to August 20th at several locations in Tivat.
