Music Marathon 2024 I Safari akordeon orchestra

What do Bedřich Smetana's Vltava, Michael Jackson's Billie Jean and the semaphore hit Is it dangerous to touch the stars have in common? They are all in the repertoire of the accordion orchestra SAFARI! Do you think that accordion does not suit such songs? Error! SAFARI will show you that accordions are great with serious and rock music, with jazz and movie hits, with Czech songs and American musicals. SAFARI has been winning at ZUŠ Střezina in Hradec Králové since 2006. Today it has over 40 members aged between 10 and 22. At his concerts, you can hear compositions by L.Bernstein, A.Dvořák, but also J.Ježek, J.Šlitr, as well as Chick Corea, Stevie Wonder, Sting or Adele. The SAFARI repertoire has a single goal - to entertain yourself and the listeners with good music regardless of genre boundaries. In addition to accordions, you will also find classical rhythms (piano, keyboards, bass guitar, drums) and a whole host of singers in SAFARI. The orchestra can also perform in a reduced ten-piece ensemble. The conductor is Radek Škeřík.
