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.
