On Saturday, June 21, 2025, the Associazione MUSICA al CUORE, together with its artistic director Professor Orfeo Mandozzi, invites you to a special concert at the Church of Madonna del Sasso – high above Lake Maggiore. World-class music, open to all, touching and captivating.

SIRA & SRDJAN – A Duo of International Renown

🎼 Program Includes: Works by Vivaldi, Bach, Brahms, Sarasate, Ravel, as well as Tango, Balkan music, folk traditions & improvisation

🎻 Sira Eigenmann: The charismatic violinist from Winterthur captivates with her cross-genre virtuosity – from classical to world music. Whether performing with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra, at the Kyburgiade or the St. Moritz Jazz Festival: her stage presence is electrifying, her music full of soul.

🪗 Srdjan Vukasinovic: He is one of the world’s top accordionists – an acclaimed soloist, sound visionary, instrument innovator and professor for Balkan music at the Zurich University of the Arts. His music merges Serbian roots with creative innovation and international flair. He invented the world’s first quarter-tone accordion and founded the brand Carboneon, the lightest accordion ever made. His appearances at Europe’s most prestigious festivals underline his stature: Lucerne Festival, Gstaad Menuhin Festival, Cully Jazz, I Suoni delle Dolomiti, Witten Days for New Music, and more.

Together, Sira and Srdjan have developed a unique style that blends classical music with elements of jazz, pop, and folk – captivating a broad, multi-generational audience. They call their musical language Klassik Nuevo.

🎶 Matthias Mueller da Minusio – guest artist and friend: He is one of Switzerland’s most versatile clarinetists. Early on, he developed his own artistic voice that blends classical, contemporary, and improvised music with ease. As a soloist and chamber musician, he moves with great stylistic freedom between traditional repertoire, new music, and free sound exploration.

🥂 Musical Afterglow – Apéro after the concert. After the concert – from around 8:30 PM – Associazione MUSICA al CUORE invites you to a summery apéro on the church terrace. A moment of conversation, connection and musical afterglow.

Admission is free. Families with children are warmly welcome. A concert experience that touches the heart, opens horizons – and lingers.
