Description
Crossover between Russian folk music and contemporary tunes, where Stravinsky meets the Beatles, the band from the north lights up its music with innovative fireworks!
Izumrud (which means “emerald”) is a leading ensemble on Russia’s modern folk scene today. The ensemble is committed to redefining the Russian folk soundscape through its fresh reinterpretation of a kaleidoscope of styles, genres, and melodies in their concerts-ranging from Bach to Stravinsky and Saint-Saens, and from Elvis Presley and the Beatles to original compositions. Izumrud has been featured in major performing occasions and venues across Europe and beyond, including a performance at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Through its awe-inspiring artistry and breathtaking performances, members of the ensemble aspire to transcend the boundaries between folk and classical, and between Russia and the world.
