JANOSKA ENSEMBLE
IMPERIAL STYLE Ondrej and Roman Janoska – violin Frantisek Janoska – piano Julius Darvas – bass
Four musicians, one family. Four artists, one sound. The JANOSKA family has been a
family of musicians for over 250 years. Right from the beginning, the father passed on
the family's sound to his son, from one generation to the next, and so, the family's very
own style, the sound characteristic of the Danube region, the musical expression of the
JANOSKA family was bequeathed, cultivated and maintained over decades.
The JANOSKA ENSEMBLE is now taking this legacy to its limit through its musical visions
and interpretations in the JANOSKA STYLE programme: through the swinging
concinnities in the micro-‐timing range and the ability to capture and animate the
audience to interact. An art inimitably mastered by the members of the JANOSKA
ENSEMBLE -‐ the exceptional musical ingenuity of the JANOSKA ENSEMBLE paired with
talent, family ties as well as gifted musicianship and improvisation create the unique
musical range -‐ extending from popular, classical pieces all the way to own compositions
and unique, unusual arrangements from classical music, jazz, pop and world music. In its
artistic harmony, the JANOSKA ENSEMBLE manages to surprise listeners, time and again,
with its unmistakable JANOSKA STYLE.
It depends on the mix
In their program JANOSKA STYLE the JANOSKA ENSEMBLE combines the typical classical
repertoire with the music from the Danube region and the tunes and melodies of its
origins. The programme thus features a melange of classical music, jazz and world
music.
