ERIK FRIEDLANDER’S »THE THROW«
Cellist Erik Friedlander comes to Villa Vipolže, on Friday, 27 October at 2 PM, with his new album Dirty Boxing, with which he 'ventures into the music ring', transforming 'dirty boxing' into an enchanting experience that explores unexpected parallels between the disciplined art of music and the strategic struggle of mixed martial arts.
He and his musical companions offer powerful musical blends of intensity and grace with a touch of martial spirit, creating a sound that is sure to both astonish and even derail you a little. The emotional depth of Dirty Boxing is a testament to the power of creativity and the unexplored connections between music and the physicality of combat sports. This is an album that not only challenges norms, but also celebrates the beauty of different worlds coming together.
