A Musical Journey from Piran to Ohrid: Where East Meets West.

The Tomi Purich BALKANJAZZ Group brings a unique musical experience that masterfully blurs the boundaries between genres and cultures. Their expressive style blends the sophistication of jazz with the rich musical traditions of the Balkans, the Orient, and picturesque Istria.

With the presentation of their latest album, PiranOhrid, the lineup deeply explores the intersection of East and West. Their repertoire seamlessly weaves together compelling original compositions, traditional folk melodies, and inventive, daring arrangements. The musicians enrich it all with world-class improvisation and dynamic, unconventional rhythms. The result is a distinct, highly infectious ethno-jazz sound that the band members proudly call by their own coined term—"balkanjazz."

Join us for a concert that will sweep you away with energy and rhythm through the hidden corners of musical tradition!
