Old friends return

Those who have heard them on their previous visits to Arran will need no urging to come to the concert by Djordje and Andrea Gajic on Saturday 19th November in Brodick Hall. It starts at 7.30, and as at previous concerts the seating will be in café style, and you can bring a bottle if you like.

Both Djordje and Andrea, performing together under the name Ad Libitum, are virtuosi of their respective instruments – the violin for Andrea and the accordion for Djordje. Together they perform an exciting repertoire. Djordje, born in Serbia, studied his instrument in Russia, where they take the accordion really seriously. Andrea has studied there as well, and also at St Mary’s Music School in Edinburgh, which is now one of the top-quality institutions where she teaches. Both have performed to great acclaim all over the world. Their repertoire as Ad Libitum ranges from the classics to music from Eastern Europe and South America. Critics have heaped praise on their performances, using words like “dazzling”, “wonderful”, “breathtaking”. Those who have experienced them before on Arran will surely agree.

As usual tickets will be available on the door on the night, in advance from Inspirations of Arran in Brodick, or online from www.arranevents.com.
