Yehudi Menuhin once said of Gilles Apap (in1985!) that he was a genuine violinist of the twenty-first century. Gilles Apap has a reputation for inflaming the passions of his audiences through his virtuosity, but also through his freedom, humour and imagination. With Vivaldi as a starting point, he will take the Festival Musiq3's Orchestra from Ireland to the Balkans and from Turkey to Spain, in a world without borders, in which music is a matter of diversity.
