Jazz Factory Festival 2022 SASO POPOVSKI TRIO feat. OLIVIER SAMOUILLAN

NU National Theatre Bitola 09.07.2022

Saso Popovski - the father of Jazz Factory Festival, the tireless warrior for a culture-rich Macedonian music scene and one of the country’s most active representatives abroad, Saso Popovski Trio. The trio itself is composed of established names on the Macedonian jazz scene - each of them with an already fruitful career behind (with a lot to offer in the future, as well).
A musician and professor with an extensive CV who has collaborated with numerous names on the domestic and international scene, and whose music reveals a completely different image of just the right balance between modernity and tradition - making the sound of the quartet very unique.

Olivier Samouillan comes to us from France, but is a musician of the world: a graduate of the Berklee College of Music in Boston, a violinist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist. He has composed numerous pieces for cinema and television and owns a publishing company and the label Art Melodies, specializing in music for image.This particular international jazzman has brought so much to Macedonian jazz, so it’s our pleasure to have him join us on July 9 to have him add some avant-garde to our lives.
