People are Talking: UMS Presents Goran Bregovic and his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra at Hill Auditorium:
It was a very emotional experience! I was born in Slovakia and have Serbian roots so Balkan rhythms are flowing in my blood and made me miss home tremendously. I loved every second of the performance, the energy of the crowd, Croatian flag and even though a part of the orchestra was falling asleep at the beginning, they seemed to be enjoying the crowd in the end as well (unlike the security). Bregovic’s music is fenomenal – temperamental, emotional and not for everyone. An older American couple sat next to me and i was curious to see their reaction. To my surprise, the gentleman stood up pretty early into the show and danced throughout the whole concert. I am just sorry to say that some people came without knowing what Bregovic was about and expected a perfectly synchronized classical concert. that’s just pure insanity.
