Coming from Skopje, Macedonia, Music Progressive Quartet (MPQ) is comprised of four conservatory-trained, world-class professional classical musicians who play with the Macedonian National Philharmonic Orchestra and guest with countless other groups and orchestras at numerous festivals in the Balkans and beyond. In MPQ, they break out into another idiom, presenting a fresh jazz take on traditional folk songs and rhythms of Macedonia. Beguiling audiences with total mastery of their instruments (violin, viola, cello, and oboe), innovative and witty arrangements, and a warm and engaging stage manner, they are a surprise break-out hit. MPQ are Vladimir Lazarevski on oboe; Vladimir Krstev, on violin; Marko Videnovik, on viola and as composer and arranger, and Paskal Krapovski on cello.
The quartet portfolio includes performance at festivals like “Blues and Jazz Rallye” in Luxemburg, “Balkan music night” in Concord, Massachusetts, “Geza Balazs Gari Jazz festival” in Kikinda, Serbia, “Days of Slavic Literacy and Culture” in Moscow, Russia, “Bitfest”, “Modoars” and “Skopje Summer Festival” in Macedonia, on famous international jazz stages “Porgy & Bess” in Vienna, Austria, “DROM” in NYC, “Lilypad” in Boston, “Ensemble Studio Theatre” in NYC, “Cellar” Jazz Club in Vancouver, Canada, “Czech Culture Center” in Sofia, Bulgaria, and have recorded their music on two albums - “Stream” in 2009 and “Dreaming” in 2013.
