DESCRIPTION:The San Francisco Balalaika Ensemble performs Russian, Ukrainian, Russian 
 Roma (Gypsy) and Crimean Tatar music in a traditional folk instrument 
 orchestra of balalaikas, domras, bayan (Russian button accordion), 
 zhaleika/brelka (Russian reed pipes) and sopilka (Ukrainian flute). Founder 
 and director Clark Welsh, who plays prima balalaika, domra, sopilka, brelka 
 and zhaleika, was motivated to start the group in 2000 to preserve this 
 rarely heard music. The ensemble includes: Grigory Krumik (bayan), Anna 
 Nikolaeva Razgulova (prima domra), Mikel Estrin (bass domra), Rick 
 Schneider (alto domra), Nada Lewis (alto, bass balalaika and vocals), Josh 
 Cohen (kontra-bass balalaika and violin). Special guests will be Irene 
 Perloff-McCullough (alto domra) and David McCullough (alto balalaika) from 
 the Atlanta Balalaika society, with Judy Sherman (vocals and alto 
 balalaika) and Tina Granados (prima domra) from the Big Rock balalaikas in 
 Morro Bay.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2013/02/23/18732641.php
