Enter The Fadolín is Ljova’s solo acoustic performance project, an ongoing development of new repertoire exploring the fadolín, a unique string instrument encompassing the full range of the violin, viola, and most of the cello.  The new collection of repertoire began as a travelogue, and continued through the pandemic via social media livestreams, on-street busking and house concerts –– Ljova’s premiered over an hour’s worth of recital and training material for myself and a future generation of fadolínists.

    Brian Prunka: works for oud and string quartet
    Outstanding NY string players with experience in the classical, jazz and Arabic music world find dramatic possibilities in combining Arabic oud and percussion with a traditional string quartet, playing expansive arrangements of Brian Prunka’s original music. Described as “Mesmerizing, intricate, anthemic” and  “one of New York’s most eclectic, interesting oudists” (NY Music Daily), Brian Prunka has performed nationally and internationally with both his own groups (Bil Afrah Project, Nashaz, Sharq Attack) and with artists including Simon Shaheen, the New York Arabic Orchestra, and Matt Darriau. His compositions and improvisational style reflect his personal musical journey through jazz and Arabic music.
