Slavic Sentiments

Sounds That Awaken Memories

Some emotions can’t be fully translated into one language. The Germans have Heimweh, the Portuguese Saudade, the Welsh Hiraeth, and in Polish, we have tęsknota. Each of these words carries more than just sadness—it’s about space, memories, and emotions we can’t quite name but deeply feel.

What kind of concert is this?

Slavic Sentiments isn’t just music—it’s a landscape of emotion that unfolds differently for every listener. There’s a touch of nostalgia, but without the weight of melancholy. It’s like looking at an old photo and quietly smiling at the past—or catching a scent on the street that brings back something you forgot you remembered.

 

 

 

What will you hear?

Suk, Laks, Rachmaninov, Bacewicz, Glière.
Each composer captures something fleeting—melodies that echo within, rhythms that gently stir memory. This is music that doesn’t overwhelm—it gives you space to feel.
