The Black and White Gipsy Orchestra is a unique synergy of authentic Gypsy music and multicultural musical traditions from around the world. Based in the Chicago area, the ensemble brings together virtuoso musicians with deep roots in musical families and rich musical heritage from the Balkans and beyond.
Their sound combines the expressive colors of Gypsy violin, guitar, accordion, keyboard, and other instruments, beautifully complemented by Iva's distinctive voice, which weaves emotion and character into every melody with a unique artistic expression.
The repertoire travels across musical cultures - from traditional Balkan and world-famous Gypsy songs to French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Greek, Hungarian, Moldovan, Assyrian, Turkish, and English Gypsy jazz standards.
The Black and White Gipsy Orchestra performs at social events throughout Illinois and across the United States, bringing passion, virtuosity, and the unforgettable spirit of Gypsy music to every performance.
