Russian Speakers Society of Austin presents
RUSSIAN SPRING FESTIVAL

GYPSIES

Russian Speakers Society of Austin presents Houston-based group THE GYPSIES and Austin-based FLYING BALALAIKA BROTHERS

Buy tickets ONLINE!

WHEN: Saturday, April 6 at 7:30 p.m.

WHERE: Unity Church of The Hills, 9905 Anderson Mill Rd, Austin, TX 78750

This concert would bring the famous “The Gypsies” from Houston to collaborate with the highly acclaimed Austin group, “Flying Balalaika Brothers”.

The Russian Speakers Society has presented Russian Winter and Spring Fest concerts during the last 12 seasons. The society has presented various Russian musicians and artists to the Austin public, entertaining audiences of Eurasian ancestry as well as from other ethnic backgrounds.

"Polyethnic" best describes The Gypsies, Houston’s award winning European-style strolling and ethnic dance band. Voted "Best Traditional/Ethnic" band by the Houston Press, they have dominated this corner of the city’s live music scene since 1974.

Led by the "King of Gypsies," Texas musician and Eastern European folklorist Greg Harbar, of "The Gypsies" is Houston’s band for all seasons and virtually all occasions. Mr. Harbar has amassed a collection of several thousand records and hundreds of massive binders of songs from every conceivable European ethnic breakdown.

This versatile band plays Eastern European, Swing, Klezmer, French, Italian, British Isles, German, Polish-American, Czech, Norteno, Cajun and Zydeco, Country, Solid Gold Oldies, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean, and Tropical styles of music. They play balalaikas, accordions, violins, mandolins, guitars, banjos, bouzouki, a full array of horns and ethnic percussion, and a wide variety of other folk instruments. From lively parties with Russian ballet dancers and jam sessions with members of the State Folk Ensembles of Russia and Hungary, to cruises down Buffalo Bayou, The Gypsies play an intriguing assortment of engagements.

They regularly play galas, balls, fund-raisers, grand openings, Opera and Symphony festivities throughout Texas, and at parties entertaining visiting royalty. Their travels include appearances in Austria, France and Germany and on a U.S. tour with the Bulava Cossack Dance Ensemble, an extended engagement on a Caribbean cruise, and appearances at festivals throughout Texas.

The second part of the concert would present the local innovative music of the Gypsy-Russian group, “The Flying Balalaika Brothers”, as well as a joint presentation of Eastern European classical, traditional, and folk music performed on indigenous and acoustic instruments. This concert will ensure the survival and connections of Gypsy music with Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Latino, Balkan, and Middle Eastern music, played on traditional instruments, creating the sounds that were prevalent when the classical composers produced their work. The “Flying Balalaika Brothers” will perform a mix of Russian and Gypsy's folk music in colorful costumes, melded with American bluegrass and contemporary international acoustic styles.

This project is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Economic Growth & Redevelopment Services Office/Cultural Arts Division and Texas Commissioner for the Arts believing an investment in the Arts is an investment in Austin’s future. Visit Austin at NowPlayingAustin.com.

Russian Spring Fest 2012The Russian Spring Fest

May 27 at 4:00 p.m. at Unity Church of The Hills, 9905 Anderson Mill Rd, Austin, TX 78750

We are proud to announce the 12-th Russian Spring Fest Concert, May 27, Sunday 4 PM.

The concert presented by Russian Speakers Society, will feature two outstanding Russian groups Limpopo and Flying Balalaika Brothers. They will perform Russian folk music on traditional folk instruments in colorful costumes, melding with American bluegrass and contemporary international acoustic styles. The concert will appeal to lovers of all styles of music and is for all ages.  The artists are the best interpreters of that kind of music. 

This project is funded and supported in part by the City of Austin through the Cultural Arts Division and by a grant from the Texas Commission on the Arts and an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art.

Limpopo is a unique blend of tradition, creative talent, culture and originality. Self-described as “crazy Russian folk ‘n’ roll,” they appeal to a wide variety of audiences. Since their arrival to the United States in 1991, they have wowed every crowd, young and old.

Flying Balalaika Brothers made their debut in 1995. Originally comprising of three members who were born in Russia, these virtuoso musicians combined their classical training with folk traditions. Presenting their music to small festivals (Gilroy Festival, Sawdust Festival, Valencia Street Market, Pecan Street Festival, Music Under the Stars, Kerrville Folk Festival), they were soon invited to perform in concert halls around the nation.
