Fri 1/15 @ 8:30PM
While the Russian Duo is based in Cleveland, both its members have roots in the old country. Balalaika player/pianist Oleg Kruglyakov came to the U.S. in the late ‘90s from Siberia after performing with various Russian folk groups, while pianist Terry Boyarski, who is also a singer and dancer, is an American of Russian descent.
The two joined forces in 2007 to share with audiences a wide range of Russian classical and folk music, from peasant folk songs to lively dance tunes to the morose minor-key pieces many associate with the Russian sensibility.
They’ll be performing at Nighttown. Tickets are $15.
