This trio's astonishing virtuosity and delightful artistic innovation alter the way audiences experience classical, folk and contemporary music. You will hear a diverse repertoire ranging from Bach, Stravinsky and Tchaikovsky to Russian folk songs, gypsy dance music and popular songs by Gershwin. They play traditional Russian folk instruments: a double-bass balalaika, the domra, and the bajan. The Los Angeles Times beautifully sums up their performance: “The traditional pieces soon brought the crowd to life, clapping enthusiastically as the rhythms accelerated… three players, alone on a large open stage, filling every crevice with their rich, imaginatively conceived music."
