Sabina Torosjan (violin)
Ljova (fadolín)
Valeriya Sholokhova (cello)
Trio Fadolín is a new ensemble with a unique sonority — featuring Sabina Torosjan on violin, Valeriya Sholokhova on cello, and Ljova, performing on the fadolín — a new instrument that encompasses the range of the violin, viola, and most of the cello, finding its footing in an acoustic chamber music setting for the first time. In their inaugural season, Trio Fadolín has been presented by Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, the Perelman Performing Arts Center (PAC NYC) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Trio's repertoire includes works by Ukrainian composers Vasyl Barvinsky, Mykola Kolessa, and Miroslav Skoryk, Spanish-American composer Andrea Casarrubios, Estonian-American composer Lembit Beecher, music from Jewish composers Moshe Weinberg and Alexander Zhurbin, folk music from Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, in addition to original works and arrangements by their fadolínist, Ljova. Trio Fadolín are recipients of the Ensemble Forward grant from Chamber Music America and the New York Community Trust for their work with composer-clarinettist Kinan Azmeh. They were the inaugural ensemble-in-residence at Interlochen Public Radio, in Michigan, where they recorded some of their upcoming debut album.
