For those of you who find solace in music that heals, that breathes, and that lingers long after the final note — this is for you. Thank you to everyone who joined us and listened so deeply. May this snippet bring a little bit of that stillness to your day 🎻✨🌹

We are so looking forward to bringing our 20th-anniversary journey to the lovely, historic Chichester Inn on June 27th! We’ve spent two decades exploring the soul of the Balkans together, and for this special performance, we’ve reached deep into our archives to hand-pick our most cherished pieces. You can see a snippet of the magic we're preparing in this video 🥰 Whether you’ve been following our journey for the full twenty years or you’re just discovering the "Magic Violin"

Attention, Camden: We'll be there this Saturday, 23rd May, 2026, after a long while far from you. Come see the Magic Violin Duo and join the celebration of 20 years playing together.

We are honoured to collaborate with independent funeral planners, crematoriums, and families to craft moments that feel genuinely personal. If you are planning a celebration of life, a memorial, a funeral, or a special private gathering in London or the surrounding areas, we would love to bring live, heartfelt acoustic music to your special moments.

This is your final nudge that our Balkan Music Workshop at the wonderful Bridge Farm is happening this Sunday, May 17th! What’s in the secret bag? 🤫 I’ll be sharing a couple of gems from my private collection, including a charismatic, odd-metered dance piece that hasn't really made its way into the UK Balkan circles yet. We’ll learn by ear (it’s more intuitive that way!), but I’ll have sheet music as a "safety net" for those who want it. The Details: 📅 When: Sunday 17th May

This is a little nudge that our Balkan Music Workshop at the wonderful Bridge Farm Bristol is fast approaching on Sunday, May 17th! 📅 When: Sunday 17th May | 10.30am – 2pm 📍 Where: Bridge Farm, Glenfrome Road, Bristol BS16 1BQ 🎟️ Fee: £25 / £20 Concession 🎻 Who: All melodic instruments (Strings, Wind, Accordion, etc.!)

To celebrate, I’m sharing a little slice of high-energy joy: the final Gypsy Swing section of Zigano, performed with my wonderful partner-in-crime, Jeremy. There’s something about the "Manouche" spirit that just feels like a proper party, isn't it? 🥂💃 This excerpt captures the Magic Violin soul at its most playful. Jazz is all about freedom and conversation, and there’s no conversation I enjoy more than a fast-paced swing with a dear friend. Enjoy this moment with us!!

We are continuing our 20th-anniversary celebrations, and this time, we’re bringing the journey to the lovely, historic Chichester Inn! 🎻

Whether you play a violin, a guitar, a mandolin, or even an oud, if you can carry a melody or hold down a rhythm, there is a chair with your name on it. We’ll be learning by ear to really capture the "sighs" and "shouts" of the music, with sheet music to help us along the way 🎼 The Details: 📅 When: Friday 8 – Sunday 10 May 2026 📍 Where: Benslow Music, Hitchin (UK) 🎭 Tutor: Gundula Stojanova Gruen
