ABOUT VOŁOSI
Inspired by music from the Beskidy Mountains, VOŁOSI combines traditional Polish folk elements with a vast array of different musical genres, creating a unique and energising sound.
Expect a dynamic fusion of strings, as their free-wheeling technique encourages spontaneity and energy. VOŁOSI’s curiosity has led them to experiment with a wide range of genres – from rock and punk to folk, jazz and film music. Their music may be rooted in heritage and tradition, but is also driven by improvisation, allowing their melodies to shift from haunting to unpredictable.
Captivating audiences worldwide at over 900 concerts, VOŁOSI’s performances are rich in emotion. The string quintet transcends musical boundaries, while never losing their connection to their musical traditions and heritage.
