Project Locrea is a world music fusion ensemble created by flutist Yana Nikol, dedicated to creating and performing original compositions and contemporary arrangements inspired by the folk music of different countries. Combining sound and instrumentation of world folk traditions with classical, jazz and contemporary music conventions, the project’s focus is to bring a better understanding and deeper connection between cultures.

“For the uninitiated, you’re in for a treat! Their music is a mélange of different traditions, from Chinese to Latin American to Slavic, reflecting these sublimely talented musicians’ far-flung roots.”
