Triango is a unique project of the well-known Slovak pianist, composer and conductor Peter Breiner, the fantastic jazz violinist Stano Paluch and outstandingly versatile accordionist Boris Lenko. The latest music project of Triango is Slovenské tance (The Slovak Dances) – jazz adaptations of Slovak folk songs. The original version of The Slovak Dances is more than a ninety minute-long orchestral suite of sixteen symphonic dances composed by Peter Breiner. The Slovak Dances is a work based on folk tunes (similar to other “dance” cycles - Dvorak, Brahms, Beethoven, Kodaly, Borodin) metamorphosed by several layers of Breiner’s complex and multifaceted musical language, including jazz, folklore and improvisation. Triango introduces their shortened chamber jazz adaptation with the guest multi-instrumentalist Milan Rendoš.
