Mazaika in Cabaret

Event information

Mazaika in cabaret.
Igor Outkine – accordion & tenor; Sarah Harrison – violin, russian domra

Mazaika appeared at The George in early 2011 and proved one of our most-talked-about events with their astonishing range of music and song. The evening was made even more enjoyable by their bravura performances and easy rapport with the audience. A brilliant mix of classical, Russian and gypsy music, interspersed with some of their favourites from around the world, including Argentine tango, Neapolitan song, songs from the twenties and thirties, bluegrass, Hot Club swing, klezmer and popular song.
Classically trained violinist Sarah also plays in a Hot Club band, a string quartet and has toured with the virtuoso music of Fritz Kreisler. Igor came to London in 1990 with the gypsy band Loyko and has continued to perform the music of his homeland. He has played on major film soundtracks such as La Vie en Rose and La Mome and toured with Marc Almond from Soft Cell. There really appears to be no limit to their talents Highly recommended!
