Check out this seriously talented musician who will blow your mind with her viola

Jelena Popržan – SOLO: “La Folia” – CD Presentation – Porgy&Bess

When: TUE, February 18, 8:30pm–10:30pm Where: Porgy & Bess Entry: 22€, buy a ticket Jelena Popržan’s website has her down as a ‘viola player, singer, performer, composer …’, which makes us both envious of her talent, and also wonder what the three-dot ellipse could be. It’s not often you hear of someone using the viola as their main instrument, but she brings a Rock ‘n’ Roll aesthetic to what some see as a bloated violin. This evening is all about her brand new album ‘La Folia’, which will have her rocking out on the 5-stringed viola, voice, loops, glass harp & mouth fiddle. Jelena sounds cooler than a cucumber to us! https://youtu.be/gnetUC5WZ_Q Recommended if you like: seriously talented individuals, music played on viola, voice, loops, glass harp and mouth fiddle, musicians not afraid to experiment, interesting things to do during the week, being a culture vulture [totop] [tocat]]]>
