What the Audience can expect...
Marius Preda (1977) comes from a musical family. At four years of age he was given a cymbal by his grandmother, and as a result became fascinated by the sound of this instrument. On his fourteenth birthday Marius was admitted to the Rumanian George Enescu High School. At about the same time he performed in different orchestras, including gypsy orchestras, throughout Rumania.
Two years later, in 1993, Marius was invited to the Netherlands to play with Rumanian Orchestras. In this way he made his first contact with jazz music. In 1995 Marius begun his study with the vibraphone at the jazz department of the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. This resulted in the creation of a CD on which the cymbalom is played as a jazz instrument.
In October 1998 he recorded his
first CD, and in the 2nd half of 1999 he played together with the
Dutch group Flairck.
