LUMINESCENT ORCHESTRII IS: Romanian gypsy melodies, punk frenzy, salty
tangos, hard-rocking klezmer, haunting Balkan harmony, hip-hop beats
and Appalachian fiddle, all eaten and spit out by two violins,
resophonic guitar, bullhorn harmonica and bass.

The members of the Orchestrii come from different scenes in New York
City, yet come together through their love of Balkan and Gypsy music.
Sxip Shirey is an international circus composer, Sarah Alden is an
old-time fiddle player, Rima Fand is an experimental theater composer,
and Benjy Fox-Rosen is a free-jazz bassist. It is not uncommon to find
Sxip playing tampon applicators with the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus,
Rima composing music for a Lorca puppet show, Benjy schlepping his
bass to a jazz gig, or Sarah fiddling away at some all-night old-time
session.
