Time 19:30
Date 29/04/15
Price £15

Performing on viola and violin alongside the Orchestra, this exciting CLoSer concert sees Ljova bring his haunting and exciting music to East London.

A modern-day tale of immigration from Russia to the USA, Ljova’s musician parents moved from Moscow to New York as communism fell in 1990. The result is Ljova’s unique musical voice that combines classical music with his own blend of Russian folk music, jazz, Balkan Gypsy and Klezmer.

CLoSer is a partnership between City of London Sinfonia and Spitalfields Music in association with Village Underground.
