​​​ THE ALBUM  

 

A new orchestral suite consisting of 16 dances rooted in Slovak folk songs. Composed by Peter Breiner; to be recorded and performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra in London in 2014.

 

 THE EXPERIENCE 

 

An audio CD is a thing of the past. We want to create much more than that - a new media website designed to be immersive. We want our audience to have a very different, participatory experience with orchestral music, one that will engage them and capture their imagination. This will be a completely new and different way of presenting contemporary music . Learn more here.

 MISSION STATEMENT 


Slovak Dances is a  work based on folk tunes (similar to other “dance” cycles - Dvorak, Brahms, Beethoven, Kodaly, Borodin) metamorphosed by several layers of Breiner’s complex and multifaceted musical language, including jazz, folklore and improvisation. The album is full of colorful contrasts,  energy, unusual instrumentation and humor and will be recorded at the legendary Air Lyndhurst Studios in London.
