Zingaresca Ensemble: Music of the Jewish and Romani Traditions

Formed in 2006, Zingaresca Ensemble is a product of collaboration between the celebrated Romani virtuoso Vadim Kolpakov, the pioneer in the revival of the seven-string guitar Oleg Timofeyev, and the Juilliard-trained baritone Anton Belov. Zingaresca interweaves classical Eastern European guitar heritage with the best traditions of the Romani and Jewish diaspora, thus blending the sophistication of classical music with the fiery vitality of folk musical expression.
