Vladimir Jablokov
Vladimir Jablokov is a young violin virtuoso from Bratislava, Slovakia.
Vladimir arrived in Ireland in 2004. He formed the Slovak Festival Quartet in 2006 with some friends. The big brother of the SFQ, the forty-eight piece Slovak Festival Orchestra followed shortly after.Vladimir has played some of Ireland's most prestigious venues; including The Mansion House, The Gaiety Theatre, Cork Opera House, Limerick UCH, the National Concert Hall, and the Aras an Uachtarain.
Vladimir's main musical focus at the moment is his small ensemble and the winning hybrid of classics, jazz and pop he calls 'Classical Twist'. From Bach to Bowie, and from Mozart to Johnny Mercer; Classical Twist puts a fresh, contemporary spin on some of the greatest melodies ever written. Dazzling musicianship and inventive, rhythmic arrangements delivered with verve in an accessible and approachable style.
