Ryley Walker & Balázs Pándi, Bratislavský improvizačný orchester

American guitarist, singer-songwriter and musician Ryley Walker and versatile Hungarian drummer Balázs Pándi have been close friends for more than a decade, but now they’ve met on stage instead of in nightclub toilets, old 2pac graffiti on walls and hanging out in bars. These two musicians are connected in many ways, but an important thing they have in common is that they both talk openly about their struggles with addiction and stories of recovery, which intersect in an improvisational concert that is expected to be all extremes.

Add to that an always different and always surprising performance by A4’s ever-changing resident ensemble, the Bratislava Improvisation Orchestra. The ensemble is a loose group of musicians playing both acoustic and electronic instruments, dedicated to freely improvised music of various forms.

Dear visitors,

The leadership of the Ministry of Culture of the Slovak Republic is taking steps that are destroying Slovak culture! Their power interventions and changes in laws threaten our functioning as well as freedom and diversity of art. We protest against this course! The cultural centers associated in the Anténa network call on you, our audience, not to stay indifferent. We call on you to follow current events, visit our cultural spaces and discuss.

Stay with us and let’s fight together for free culture.
