Mrs. Lucia Barcari and Mr. Gjovalin Nonaj are without a doubt not a traditional musical duo. Through their blending of violin and accordion, performing both classical and folk music, they create a unique auditory experience. The duo presents a delightful program full of transitions between playful lightness, dynamic intensity and gentler tunes. Both of these artists have already received considerable acclaim on their own, and international audiences are not new to either of them. Mr. Nonaj has not only played with various ensembles, orchestras and solo, but also contributed to event such as Balkan Trafic Festival . Mrs. Barcari has given solo concerts in Germany, Finland, Ukraine, Belgium and Canada, in addition to busy orchestral and teaching schedule.
