TESTAMONIAL OF Support:
From David Murphy - UK-based conductor/composer & featured panelist at Classical:Next 2024
“I highly recommend Balladeste, the exceptional violin and cello duo featuring Preetha Narayanan and Tara Franks, for a showcase at Classical:NEXT 2025. Having had the privilege of witnessing their performances, I've seen first-hand how their immersive and captivating shows - created live in the moment - leave audiences entranced.
Balladeste's commitment to exploring in full the natural resources and resonances of their instruments sets them apart and is the result of an unparalleled dedication to their craft. Their journey to the roots of sound has led them to create music of the highest quality that is both cutting edge and timeless, making their work truly unique and, I believe, ideally suited for a showcase within the immersive atmosphere of the Holzmarkt.
The duo's distinctive ability to create everything from deeply meditative to incredibly exciting dynamic sound worlds showcase the boundless potential of classical music while breathing new life into the genre. I believe a Balladeste showcase at Classical:NEXT 2025 will be highly enjoyable, enrich the dialogue within our sector, and leave a lasting impression on all who attend”
