Virtuoso Serbian violinist Félix Lajkó is best known for his spectacular Concerts of Joy celebrating Balkan music, which annually draw audiences in the tens of thousands in Budapest. Félix Lajkó is the maverick of Balkan music, a musician moving beyond boundaries. As he says himself, "My music is based on the delicacy and colourfulness of my instrument. I do not play any new types of musical genre, I only follow my own path and improvise and write music. I cannot see differences between musical styles and ways, so I play folk, classical, rock, blues and improvisational music”. Wild and dramatic yet filled with sensitivity and virtuosity, his performances have drawn him an obsessive following. Lajkó has been long championed by musicians as diverse as The Dirty Three and classical composer Alexander Balanescu. Félix Lajkó first had a violin in his hand when he was 12 and had completed six years of  music education in three years time. He then finished his formal studies and turned towards his attention toward concert performance. He played jazz with Dresch Quartett, contemporary music with the Hungarian piano composer and piano player Szabados György and was a member of the Boris Kovac’s Ensemble Ritual Nova. He has performed with Romanian born London based Alexander Balanescu. Has played in Budapest, Prague, Berlin, Belgrade, Paris, Bordeaux, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Bratislava, Venice, Verona and Monte Carlo. He also made an acclaimed appearance at the Pina Bausch Festival in Wuppertal. Lajkó appears in Ireland alongside an appearance at the All Tomorrows Parties festival, curated by The Dirty Three.    ......
