Thank you to our friends old and new who joined us this past weekend for performances at the Met Museum and at branches of the Queens Libraries -- we had a wonderful time performing for you!
We have one last performance in this run of shows coming up this Sunday the 29th, at the Café Lawn in #forttryonpark presented by the Washington Heights Chamber Orchestra at 5pm.

See you out there!

Trio Fadolin performing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art -- photo shows three musicians and a bustling atmosphere behind them

Trio Fadolín performing at the Kew Gardens Hills branch of the Queens Public Library. The foreground of the photo has an audience and the musicians are at the background. The floor is bright yellow and the walls are white. It's a sunny day.

Summer heatwaves in our house almost always mean one thing --- remote recording sessions! Also - not one but FOUR @triofadolin shows this weekend -- two appearances at Met Museum and two shows at Queens Libraries on Saturday and Sunday ... ice those preamps and bring it on!

see you out there!

June 2025 is going to be a bit of a subway series -- see here for a preview: https://www.ljova.com/2024/11/see-you-out-there/ #fadolín #fadolin #iloveny #ilovenyc #chambermusicny #chambermusic #bronx #brooklyn #queensny #manhattan #nyc #livemusic #NowPlaying #triofadolin #music #newyork

Back in New York after performing with the @nationalsawdust Ensemble in the premiere of @paolaprestini very moving and transformative opera “Sensorium Ex” as part of the @csensesfest in Omaha! An opera that dreams in possibility, giving voice & a platform to a community largely unheard in today’s performing arts. One of the most nurturing experiences. 🫰 that it will travel to a space near you soon. #opera #newopera #paolaprestini #sensoriumex #omaha #nationalsawdust #fadolín #fadolín

A photo of the stage for "Sensorium Ex" as shot from way back in the house. There are dark black drapes over the centre of the room, followed by bright lights up ahead. The floor is reflective. The stage has a red background colour.

A short musical piece guided by #emoji instead of words? I wanted to try -- turned out pretty well, I think! See if you like it. Happy to send you a PDF by request. Stay tuned for my Emoji Symphony! #emoji #music #emojiinmusic #fadolín #fadolin #musica #notation #dorico #ljova

This Sunday (Mother's Day), @triofadolin performs a free concert at NYU's Casa Italiana feat Ginevra Petrucci and clarinettist Kostja Kostic, performing music by Sardelli, Hummel, Calomiris, Alexander Zhurbin, and our fadolínist @ljovadotcom Free RSVP --- show up a bit early to guarantee a seat.

Should be lovely --- see you out there!

Grateful for this last run of @triofadolin shows in Long Island, at Columbia University and at TheLocal in Saugerties. We are lucky to do what we do, to explore a very special slice of repertoire, and to be supported by venues and friends in the City and out.

We'll have one short show in the middle of May, and then five opportunities to see us in June -- so we'll see you soon!

See you out there!

Dusting off my solo fadolín repertoire for a performance at Barbès this Saturday at 6pm -- Mireia Clua and I will both play some of our solo repertoire and possibly -- for the first time ever? -- a fadolín duo?
