Trio Fadolín explores the unique sonority of the acoustic fadolín, a new instrument that encompasses the range of the violin, viola, and most of the cello, using it - for the first time - as an integral instrument in an acoustic chamber music setting.
A new ensemble with a unique sonority, Trio Fadolín features Sabina Torosjan on violin, Valeriya Sholokhova on cello, and Ljova, performing on the fadolín. The Trio's repertoire includes works by Ukrainian composers Vasyl Barvinsky, Mykola Kolessa, and Miroslav Skoryk, Spanish-American composer Andrea Casarrubios, Estonian-American composer Lembit Beecher, music from Jewish composers Moshe Weinberg and Alexander Zhurbin, folk music from Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, in addition to original works and arrangements by their fadolínist, Ljova. For this performance, Trio Fadolin will be joined by special guest, the Lithuanian-born vocalist Inna Barmash.
The musicians also share a deep personal connection - all three grew up in the former Soviet Union and arrived in New York as teens. Sabina was born in Estonia of Armenian-Jewish heritage; Valeriya was born in Ukraine of Ukrainian, Jewish, and Russian heritage; Ljova was born in Moscow, Russia, of Ukrainian-Jewish, German-Jewish, Polish and Romanian heritage. They share a common bond of immigration, Eastern European literature, humor, animation and music.
They come together to tell the complicated stories of immigrant composers, to collaborate with immigrant artists, to showcase places where cultures intersect.
