vibrate!festival 2019 | EDITION V: “FLOW”

Brașov. 15-17 November 2019

Dear friends,

In positive psychology, “flow” is a mental state of operation in which a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energised focus, the full absorption in what one does resulting in a loss of one’s sense of space and time. It is what we invite you to experience at the vibrate!festival concerts and all the more at this 5th Edition. Invented by psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi, the term is used and applied to a variety of fields, covering aspects of art, sport, religion, gaming, education. In music, the state of “flow” is essential and defining. Your guides in this experience are a select group of musicians of calibre, internationally renowned masters that break the conventional boundaries: the charismatic Serbo-French cellist Maja Bogdanović, Greek violist and Ottomanist Alexandros Koustas, the versatile Dutch-British violinist Daniel Rowland, Hungarian saxophonist Erzsébet Seleljo and vibrate!festival founders pianist Diana Ionescu and violinist and composer Vlad Maistorovici. We start at Brașov’s Tenis Arena with La Follia: heavyweight musical duels on the boxing ring. In Offstream you will have a complete experience of a musical happening, with ancient and contemporary, European and Ottoman, absolute and soundtrack music accompanying silent film. In Aval we invite you to the concert hall to discover precious rarities of the chamber music repertoire. As every year, we invite you to join us at the free entry events of Sinestezia.
