and appearing on local talent show “You have five minutes”, The Terem
Quartet found their way to wider recognition via recording at Real World
Studios and WOMAD festivals in Bath, Cornwall and the US. Although
classically trained, they have revived folk instruments that were long
forgotten - domra, accordion and the huge bass balalaika - and play a
repertoire ranging from Tchaikovsky to gypsy melodies. Technically
brilliant and startlingly original, The Terems play an eccentric range of
material with great humour - as anyone who has seen them live is bound to
tell you.
