Zingaresca Ensemble at the Old Church (Portland)

ZINGARESCA ENSEMBLE is a product of collaboration between the celebrated  Roma (Gypsy) virtuoso Vadim Kolpakov, the pioneer in the revival of the  seven-string guitar Oleg Timofeyev, and the Juilliard-trained baritone  Anton Belov. The Italian word “Zingaresca” means “in a Gypsy style”: the  ensemble interweaves the classical Eastern European guitar heritage  with the best traditions of the Romani diaspora, thus blending the  sophistication of classical music with the fiery vitality of folk  musical expression.
