The choir’s repertoire is sung in Russian, Polish, Slovak, Serbian, Ukrainian, Croatian, Czech, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Belorussian, Bosnian, sometimes even Yiddish or Romanian.

This electrifying group fuses together Eastern European, Balkan, Gypsy and classical music in a whirlwind performance of frenzied virtuosity. Fiery melodies and foot-tapping rhythms are interspersed with lilting laments in high-energy sets from this exciting group. Specialising in bringing rare or lost traditional Balkan music back to life, both the curious listener and the well-versed aficionado are sure to enjoy a host of surprises and fast-paced entertainment.
