Menuhin Academy Soloists & Roby Lakatos

Performances

Booking Required

Led by conductor Oleg Kaskiv with virtuoso violinist Roby Lakatos, this charity concert presented by Fondation Patiño traces a kaleidoscopic programme from Grieg and Sarasate to Saint-Saëns and Wieniawski, weaving classical forms with folk, klezmer and tango. Arrangements by Lakatos sit alongside Piazzolla’s melancholy tangos and virtuosic showpieces, while eclectic orchestral colours and agile solo lines conjure shifting atmospheres — from intimate lyricism to blazing virtuosity — inviting listeners into a vivid, cross-cultural soundworld.

Staro — Rap-rock

On stage he alternates restrained phrasing and explosive outbursts, shaping a raw, urgent sound that balances poetic precision with visceral energy. The performance feels both confessional and confrontational, leaving a lingering emotional charge.
