Join us at the Rio Theatre for a unique evening of film and live music featuring a screening of the documentary BRASSLANDS and a taste of the upcoming Ederlezi Balkan Brass Festival 2015!, featuring music from by Vancouver’s own premiere Balkan Brass band, Orkestar Slivovica. BRASSLANDS tells the story of a tiny Serbian village that is visited by half a million people during the 50th anniversary of the world’s largest trumpet celebration, the Gucha Trumpet Festival. Demiran Ćerimović , one of the Serbian bandleaders followed in the documentary, will be joining in the music as well as answering questions after the film.
