World-renowned Paris based sextet, Les Yeux Noirs will be traveling to Providence especially for this one night only performance that will kick off the festivities of the 15th Annual Convergence International Arts Festival. Les Yeux Noirs creates a rich blend of music that is part Gypsy, part klezmer, both joyous and reverential. Virtuoso brothers Eric and Oliver Slabiak, both classically trained in the violin form the foundation of Les Yeux Noirs. The Slabiak brothers are backed by band members Francois Perchat, Pascal Rondeau, Franck Anastasio, Jean-Pierre Onraedt, Marian Miu and Ionica Minune who bring the sounds of cello, acoustic guitar, electric bass, double bass, cymbalum, accordion and vocals into this decadent musical mixture. Come join Les Yeux Noirs for this special concert, as they take you on an intense sensory journey through stories of travel, love, celebration, and heart-rending lament. You cannot listen to Les Yeux Noirs and be unmoved.
