Terem Quartet

Fodor's Review:

When scanning the listings, don't miss Terem Quartet, the famous local four who have adapted "inviolable" classical jewels such as Oginsky's "Polonaise" or Schubert's "Ave Maria" for balalaika, bayan, domra, and alto domra to superb effect. Virtuosi in their instruments, and highly interactive in their performing style, which critics have branded "instrumental theater," they freely mix J. S. Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D Minor" with Russian folk songs, and make every concert a fun and overwhelming experience.
