Inspired by his collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma, Osvaldo Golijov, the Kronos Quartet, the rapper Jay-Z and others, Ljova's compositions dazzle with intricate textures, odd rhythms and lilting melodies, creating music that is both fresh and timeless.

Fanfare Samenakoa
Sun, May 11th @ 9pm
Imagine
a hot summer night, a beach, a party, many people and among them some
musician. The musicians, who had never played together before, started
taking out their instruments and beginning to play together out of joy.
Like magic people start dancing, laughing and amusing themselves while
amazing music seeps through the beach. Fanfare Samenakoa was born on that summer night in 2003.
