In anticipation of the opening of the 10th edition of Belluno Miraggi, an event of international scope at Hangar11, within the Vertigini 2026 festival.
A blend of heterogeneous musical approaches and instruments, sound stories, unrestrained musical fantasy, and solid craftsmanship returns in concert, on sunday, november 22, the Slovenian trio Širom.
An “imaginary” and “coming from a parallel universe” folk as they love to say themselves. In Slovenian, širom means “to go far” and “everywhere,” and this semantic breadth well conveys the idea of music in motion, capable of capturing and intertwining heterogeneous styles and influences, bringing multiplicity to synthesis. In the repertoire of Iztok Koren, Samo Kutin, and Ana Kravanja, there are over a dozen instruments and just as many musical forms that have inspired the identity of this ensemble. A vast sound body that not only draws from tradition (viola, ocarina, mizmar, ribab, daf, balafon, guembri, banjo, hurdy-gurdy, lute, tambura brač, music box) but also utilizes self-built objects. Despite such instrumental richness, the sound remains minimalist and has a mystical, shamanic quality, moving within the dialectic between darkness and light, mystery and revelation.
Their performances are magnetic and engage listeners in a ritual, powerful, and immersive experience. In their creative approach, the musicians maintain such autonomy as to avoid being limited to reproducing pre-existing patterns. The result is an original and stylistically coherent expressive form, oscillating between a wide range of folk sounds and meditations reminiscent of contemporary acoustic rock.
The event will also be the occasion to launch the new theatrical season Belluno Miraggi X, which will open on friday, november 27 at the Teatro Dino Buzzati with the show “Pitecus” by the duo RezzaMastrella, Golden Lions for Career at the Venice Biennale 2018.
