Credo Quartet –founded just five years ago, this vocal ensemble produces fresh interpretations of many well-known choral works that are customarily sung by larger choirs. Though the group is relatively young, each of its members has sung with leading choirs in St. Petersburg. The name “Credo” means “I believe” in Latin, and each of the singers believes in the grace, beauty and divine nature of the gift of singing.
Art of Balalaika – Sergey Vashchenko – very well known as balalaika virtuoso in every venue from folk to classical music, he has also been for many years the conductor and musical director for shows at Rice University of Houston for the orchestra affiliated with the Balalaika-Domra Association of America. He has produced several CDs together and with the collaboration of other artists. The latest CD, entitled “Somewhere My Love” was running for a Grammy Award 2004 under the “Best Traditional World Music Album”.
