Ljova Live

Thursday, May 31, 2007

The Russian-born, New York-based violist and composer Lev "Ljova" Zhurbin has made a name collaborating with names like Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project and the Kronos Quartet. He joins us with his own ensemble, the Vjola Contraband, a group that blends Eastern-European and Gypsy melodies, Latin rhythms, Jazz-inspired improvisations with classical forms.
