Vladimir and Anton are Slovakian sibling musicians with a shared rare gift – mastery of the classical violin. The talented duo are set to join forces on the stage of the National Concert Hall this Easter Saturday, 4th April 2015 as part of their nationwide tour. Tickets for the National Concert Hall event priced €25 are available now from www.nch.ie.
Vladimir Jablokov is well known to music fans in Ireland. In the ten years he has lived and worked here, he has developed a loyal fanbase for his musical adventures, from the crossover pop & jazz world of Classical Twist, to his festive family show Vladimir's Viennese Christmas, stopping off at guest starring in 'Fiddler On The Roof' and a being musical director on popular celebrations of the music of both Mario Lanza and Joseph Locke.
Vladimir is delighted to introduce his younger brother Anton for his next musical adventure – 'Two Brothers'. Both shared a similar upbringing, sons of a gifted Russian violinist / conductor, playing violin from being toddlers, and studying the instrument and music theory at the Conservatoire in Bratislava.
However, while Vladimir rebelled against the rigorous daily discipline and left for Ireland in 2004, Anton is completing his Masters degree in musical performance at the acclaimed Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano. Paradoxically, it is Anton who has developed an astonishing flair for improvisation; which makes for a thrilling and inventive contrast with his older brother's assured mastery and classic touch.
Almost twenty years of playing together gives the Two Brothers an almost telepathic sense of musical intuition. Pushing each other on to greater heights of artistic expression, joyful harmony and thrilling clashes, this is sibling rivalry soundtracked like you have never heard it before.
These duelling violinists are ably accompanied by the superb Adam Kuruc on piano, as they present their unique interpretations of jewels and gems from the rich heritage of central and Eastern European classical music, from Viennese trinkets, to Russian masterpieces, and adding some Romany fireworks for good measure.
