Green Hours hosts jazz gigs

Dyas, a duo of accordion players Drenska Yova and Andrej Serkow, will perform at Green Hours club in Bucharest on January 28 at 10 pm as part of a special event entitled Austrian Hours. Yova, who hails from Bulgaria, and Ukrainian Serkow have been playing together since 2003. Their first CD, Together, was awarded the Pasticcio prize by the Austrian Radio.

The pair play music that mingles classical themes with traditional Eastern European elements, so their style is somewhere between jazz and the Eastern European tradition. As part of Austrian Hours, organizers the Austrian Cultural Forum have invited five jazz bands to deliver a musical program with the saxophone and accordion.
