Avi Avital & Ksenija Sidorova

Avi Avital (mandolin) and Ksenija Sidorova (accordion) form a dynamic, innovative duo in contemporary classical music. The Israeli mandolin virtuoso—known for his luminous tone and genre-blending flair—and the Latvian accordion star—celebrated for her expressive intensity and charismatic presence—fuse virtuosic technique, folk roots, classical depth, and world rhythms into fresh, exhilarating performances.

In this exhilarating collaboration, they present “Dances”—a program that traces an irresistible rhythmic arc: from courtly brilliance and introspective lyricism, through exuberant folk vitality and whimsical grotesquerie, to fervent passion and serene, poetic calm—all unified by the timeless spirit of dance.

Join them for an unforgettable musical journey that reimagines the essence of dance through two extraordinary instruments and boundless creativity!
