Experience an unforgettable intertwining of virtuosity, jazz invention and musical humour in a unique performance by the dynamic Trio Fir\u0161t. Join us on a fun and inspiring musical-theatrical walk, where classical tradition meets elements of stand-up.<\/p>\n
The performances of the Fir\u0161t trio delight audiences in Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia with a musical-theatrical walk through an eclectic concert schedule that sets new milestones in technical virtuosity and jazz invention, mockingly reworking well-known tunes from the repertoire of European classical music and connecting them with elements of stand-up, curiously looking for elements of musical humour and spectacle in them. The Fir\u0161t Trio consists of trumpeter Peter Fir\u0161t, pianist Leon Fir\u0161t and double bass player Miha Fir\u0161t. All of them are successful musicians who work in Slovenia and abroad as creators, authors, organizers and teachers in the field of classical, jazz, theater and popular music.<\/p>\n
