Concert featuring well-known melodies and dances
In October 2023, Olga Dribas, a long-time pianist and head of studies at the Gerhart-Hauptmann-Theater Görlitz-Zittau, founded the Görlitzer Salonquartett to continue the long-standing tradition of café and salon music in Upper Lusatia.
Together with cellist Leon Szostakowski, who has been active in this field for years, and the two young violinists Lucía López Borrego and Ekaterina Khoroshilova, they dedicate themselves to the inexhaustible repertoire of light entertainment music that defined the coffee houses and music salons of Vienna and all of Europe, especially in the 19th century. Famous composers such as Johann Strauß, Franz Lehár, Robert Stolz, and many others make the whole world turn azure blue when the sky is full of violins and the night is not just for sleeping! With waltzes, tangos, and Hungarian csárdás, the four outstanding musicians delight the audience until, in the end, they clap along enthusiastically to the timeless Radetzky March!
The Görlitzer Salonquartett invites well-known singers as guests who enrich the quartet's cozy afternoon concerts with coffee and cake, featuring beloved hits and operetta melodies.
This is a continuous multi-day event
