ZINGARESCA (EPK)
Music that is unforgettable, virtuosic, passionate, and evocative.

About Us

​

Passionate, virtuosic, and refined: Zingaresca is a rare crossover ensemble devoted to the legendary seven-string guitar — a distinctly Eastern European instrument whose voice has resonated for more than two centuries in salons, theaters, and candle-lit ballrooms.

​

The music of Zingaresca unites the discipline of classical training with the smoldering intensity of Romani and Jewish musical traditions — where every phrase breathes longing, brilliance, and irresistible rhythmic pulse.

​

Zingaresca has earned standing ovations across the United States and Canada, appearing in major cultural capitals including Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver.

​

The highlights of Zingaresca's recent performing schedule include appearances at Yale University, Princeton, Wellesley College, the French Embassy in Washington, DC, and the Waterfront Theatre in Vancouver, BC. 

​

The ensemble brings together commanding artists:

• Vadim Kolpakov — a renowned Romani guitarist who comes from a long line of exceptional musicians, and whose unmatched virtuosity dazzled audiences around the globe. 

• Oleg Timofeyev — visionary scholar-performer and leading force in the revival of the historic seven-string guitar tradition.

• Anton Belov — distinguished baritone whose voice has graced major opera houses and symphony stages.

​

A attending a performance by Zingaresca is bound to leave you speechless: wherever Zingaresca performs, it delivers an intimate, electrifying, and unforgettable musical experience!
