Their all-original repertoire incorporates inspirations from Argentinean tango, Serbian folk and dance traditions, Persian classical repertoire, as well as music from the Classical (Bach, Prokofiev), and progressive rock worlds (Radiohead).

Concert Description

Join Xenia Concerts at Toronto Summer Music for a special Adaptive Concert with the Bruno-Bridge Duo!

This family-friendly concert is designed to welcome and support neurodivergent and disabled attendees, their families, allies, and anyone who prefers a relaxed and supportive concert environment. All ages and expressions are welcome!
