	\, January 5\, 2008\, at 7pm\nJoe's Pub\, at the Public Theater\n425 L
	afayette Street\nNew York City\nClosest subway: 6 to Astor Place\, or

	nce / $20 day of show\, available online at the Joe's Pub website or c
	all 212-967-7555. \n\n\n\nLJOVA AND THE VJOLA CONTRABAND is chamber-ja
	m music for the "remix generation". As if by alchemy\, Eastern-Europea
	n and Gypsy melodies\, Latin rhythms\, Jazz-inspired improvisations\, 
	and deeply rooted Classical forms are given new meanings. Founded by t
	he maverick film composer\, arranger\, and violist Lev 'LJOVA' Zhurbin
	 --- hailed by Billboard magazine as "one of New York's fastest rising
	 composers and instrumentalists" -- the ensemble also features his clo
	se collaborators on vocals\, accordion\, bass and percussion. Inspired
	 by his collaborations with Yo-Yo Ma\, Osvaldo Golijov\, the Kronos Qu
	artet\, the rapper Jay-Z and others\, Ljova's compositions dazzle with
	 intricate textures\, odd rhythms and lilting melodies\, creating musi
	c that is both fresh and timeless.\n\nLjova\, viola\nPatrick Farrell\,
	 accordion\nMike Savino\, bass\nMathias Kunzli\, percussion\nspecial g
	uest: Inna Barmash\, vocal \n\n"[Ljova's music is] full of Brahmsian t
	one\, Bartók lines\, hiccuping Hungarian rhythms\, Klezmer soul and t
	he sexy plaintiveness of tango and the blues." \n         --Newsday\n\
	n\nBROOKLYN RIDER is a string quartet formed to explore creative progr
	amming and adventurous collaborations. Individually\, the musicians ha
	ve appeared as soloists with major symphony orchestras including the N
	ew York Philharmonic\, the Philadelphia Orchestra\, and the Chicago Sy
	mphony\, and have participated in many leading chamber music festivals
	 internationally. They have worked extensively with composers Chen Yi\
	, Osvaldo Golijov\, Dimitry Yanov-Yanovsky\, Wu Man\, Shirish Korde an
	d Kayhan Kalhor. Brooklyn Rider's motivation to expand string quartet 
	programming has come from their involvement as core members of Yo-Yo M
	a's Silk Road Ensemble\, with whom they have performed throughout the 
	world\, recorded two albums for Sony Classical. \n\nJonathan Gandelsma

	 of the string quartet Brooklyn Rider"\n         -- the New Yorker
