Ohio Regional Music Arts and Cultural Outreach (ORMACO) opens its 2015-16 World Tour of Music concert series on November 7, 2015 at 8pm at Black River Middle School, 257 County Road 40 in Sullivan with Russian Duo, an international project, born out of a love of traditional music and classical elegance.  Oleg Kruglyakov, balalaika virtuoso, and Terry Boyarsky, masterful pianist, team up for an exuberant performance of soulful, passionate music. Their collaboration highlights the mysterious sounds of the balalaika underscored by the vast expressive range of the piano. Featuring vocals and Russian percussion, their extensive repertoire draws from Russian folk music, romances, dances, classical music, gypsy melodies and Russian songs.
