As the Los Angeles Balalaika Orchestra looks back on 20 seasons of music-making, it marks two eventful decades of memorable concerts and artistic growth under the guidance of our directors, Iryna Orlova and Anatoliy Mamalyga. We remember also a host of challenges, including the Great Recession, events larger than any of us, that have threatened our very existence. But each year we have come back, come back re-inspired by our instruments and the music, re-dedicated to our mission to sustain a world-class Balalaika Orchestra here in Los Angeles.
One more thing, however, keeps us in the game: the support and appreciation of our audience. We know only one way to express our gratitude... with music. This year's concert features a completely new program and soloists guaranteed to surprise and delight everyone. Join us this year to celebrate our past and dedicate our future. |
