Mireia Clua and Ljova -- Two Sides of a Fadolín: This performance will bring together two sides of the fadolín , the unique 6-stringed instrument that encompasses the range of a violin, viola, and most of the cello. Ljova will perform compositions from his ongoing project "Enter the Fadolín", and Mireia Clua will perform pieces from her new project "The Future of the Rocks", featuring the fadolín and looper. A unique opportunity to hear two sides of a fadolín, together for the first time. MIREIA CLUA Hailing from Andorra and currently based in NYC, Mireia presents her own music for 6-string violin and a looper pedal. Her compositions, which blend elements of classical and modern music, are full of emotion and range from tender and sweet to dark and mysterious. Mireia's concerts are a unique and intimate experience, taking audiences on a journey through the beautiful abstract worlds she creates entirely with her fadolin. Mireia began her classical music training in Andorra, and pursued modern music and improvisation in Barcelona. Later she spent some years in Latin America, where she founded social music projects in Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, showcasing her passion for using music as a means of self-transformation and bringing people together.   LJOVA: LJOVA (Lev Zhurbin) was born in 1978 in Moscow, Russia, and moved to New York with his parents, composer Alexander Zhurbin and writer Irena Ginzburg, in 1990.
