Concert - Balkan Music Night

Bosnian pride on the accordion!
 
Accordionist Haris Kaltak's orchestra was named the best in the Balkans at the Banaton festival in Timisoara, Romania.

As a young boy Haris often dreamed about playing in front of 30,000 people and those dreams came true while playing in Timisoara.

A celebrity in the Balkans, Haris shared a spectacular concert of Balkan music, rich in melody, rhythm and intricate articulation, accompanied by an expert team of musicians.
 
The standing ovation showed the tremendous appreciation the capacity audience had in being treated to such a musical experienc in the hands of masters.
