Celebrating the upcoming release of Ljova’s newly-released CD "Lost in Kino," built around the compilation of his many film scores, this award-winning composer brings his formidable musical and cinematic talents to the stage with the Gypsy band Romashka, the Tall Tall Trees and the PubliQuartet, along with special guests, to create a full-blown audio-visual experience of stories from the sound-side out.
Ljova has composed, produced, and recorded scores to three feature and over a dozen short films. Among his recent credits are the documentaries My Perestroika (Sundance Film Festival), Lost Bohemia (DOC NYC Special Jury Prize winner), as well as the short films Cupcake (Tribeca Film Festival) and Only Love (Woodstock Film Festival, award for Best Original Score for Short Film at LIIFE). Ljova is also an active collaborator of Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Project, Osvaldo Golijov, Brooklyn Rider, and the Kronos Quartet, and frequently performs with his own ensembles, Ljova and the Kontraband, and Barmaljova.
