Martina Schwarz and her accordion will take you on a journey around the world, visiting the musical traditions of many countries, including foot tapping tunes and soulful melodies from the Balkan, Gypsy and Sephardic traditions. There will be Klezmer music, passionate Tangos, French Chansons, Irish jigs and laments as well as occasional sorties to a more German repertoire. There might even be a chance to sing along if you so desire.
