Balkatucada

Through a musical procession through the streets of Vienne, Balkatucada draws the audience into a vibrant and infectious sonic and choreographic adventure. Conceived as the grand finale of three years of artistic residencies for musician Stracho Temelkovski, artist-in-residence at Jazz à Vienne, the Balkatucada jazz brass band promises to be a collective, festive, and deeply human celebration. 112 local musicians will be joined by some thirty dancers from Les Balcons du Dauphiné to create a joyful and generous roaming ensemble, reflecting the bonds forged with the residents of Vienne and its surrounding area over the seasons.

Marked by a spirit of openness, this brass band—composed of several sections (instrumental rhythm, body percussion, brass, vocals)—will echo the millennia-old history of Vienne, a city of passage, travel, and cultural fusion. More than a concert, it is a collective experience, a shared celebration, a work born of the region and carried by those who live there. An invitation to walk together, to listen, to dance… and to celebrate.

Stracho Temelkovski is an artist-in-residence at the Jazz à Vienne festival, as part of the artistic residency program supported by the Department of Isère.
