Corina Sîrghi brings sold-out performances to Brașov Jazz & Blues Festival
Corina Sîrghi is set to captivate audiences at the Brașov Jazz & Blues Festival on Sunday, August 16, 2026, with her concert scheduled to begin at 20:00 at Juno Wine Garden. Known for her soulful interpretations of traditional mahala songs, folklore, and jazz, Sîrghi has built a loyal following, with many of her shows selling out.
Growing up between the Danube and the sea, Sîrghi has infused her music with the rich cultural tapestry of Romania. She studied jazz at the Conservatory and has collaborated with talented musicians from Taraful Jean Americanu', including pianist Toma Dimitriu. Her performances resonate deeply, especially with younger audiences, who appreciate her commitment to authenticity over trends.
Sîrghi believes that music should not be dictated by algorithms, asserting that nothing can replace the essence of human artistry. She feels that the perception of art as a luxury in Romania limits cultural appreciation, a sentiment she hopes to change. Despite acknowledging the struggle for recognition, she remains steadfast in her mission to create music that reflects true beauty and emotion.
Having performed most beautifully in Brașov after Bucharest, Sîrghi expresses gratitude for the warm reception her traditional music has received in the city. She dreams of taking her band to the mountains or the sea to share their music in nature, emphasizing the importance of genuine musical experiences. Sîrghi encourages every young person to experience the beauty of a doină at least once in their lives, hoping to inspire a deeper connection to Romania's cultural roots.
