Where else can you meet a musician? On the road! As well as music, performers and composers share a sense of travel. Constantly on the move, they travel the world to make themselves known or discover other cultures, and many musical works reflect their peregrinations, real or imaginary: Beethoven takes us to Ukraine with Schöne Minka, we dance in Hungarian, Slavic or Russian style with Brahms, Dvorak or Stravinsky, or even Brazilian with Milhaud...
Violinist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky and pianist Georgy Tchaidze open their travel diaries for a world tour of the imaginary: bon voyage
