From Russian roots to classical favorites, from vocals to ragtime, the Russian Duo is an enthralling collaboration between virtuoso balalaika and concert piano, creating a vibrant, cross-cultural musical experience.

Oleg Kruglyakov, balalaika virtuoso, and Terry Boyarsky, masterful pianist, have teamed up for exuberant performances of soulful, passionate music. Their music highlights the mysterious sounds of the balalaika underscored by the vast expressive range of the piano.

"With music of elan, finesse and passion, so virtuosically rendered, this duo's performances are irresistible." - Robert Spano, Music Director, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra
