As most mandolin players in Russia she has studied the domra first and has got a degree in classical music from the music academy in Moscow.

Finally she has discovered the <strong>looper<\/strong> as an effectiv device to make her very special music.<\/p>\n<p>With the looper she can develop pieces track by track to produce the sound of a complete ensemble just with a single mandolin.

Olga has graduated from Gnessin Russian Academy of Music (a prominent music school in Moscow, Russia) so she has got higher education in classical music.<\/p>\n<p>Now Olga\u2019s main instrument is electric mandolin with guitar pedal effects, but she also plays domra, melodeon, xylophone, tambourine, bodhran etc and also sings. Using loop station (and also adding her energy and charisma) she creates multi-instrumental, multidimensional \u201cone woman show\u201d on stage. She performs her own \u2013 mostly instrumental \u2013 compositions as well as covers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat do you expect a mandolin player to play? Some classical stuff? A bluegrass tune?\u201d \u2013 asks Olga. And answers: \u201cI will not play neither one thing nor the other. I\u2019ll play you \u201cmusic dispersion on mandolin\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>What is \u201cmusic dispersion\u201d? This Olga-invented style combines elements of classical music, progressive rock, Russian folk and American bluegrass into organic whole.<\/p>\n<p>Olga once played with banjo virtuoso Bill Evans and Czech bluegrass star Pavel Handlik; she cooperates with top Russian folk, blues and rock musicians (such as legendary Russian folk group KukuruzA and original Russian bluesman Yuri Naumov) and some Western ones, including a Swinging London legend, \u201cthe psychedelic jug band\u201d Purple Gang (of \u201cGranny Takes a Trip\u201d fame).<\/p>\n<p>During last seven years she played a lot of big festivals in Russia and abroad (Czech Republic, Spain, Monaco).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>Additional\u00a0Information<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/Olgertinno\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youtube Kanal Olga Egorova \/ Olgertinno<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/HappyPenguinsBand\/videos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Youtube Kanal Olga Egorova \/ Happy Penguins Band<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/olgertinno.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website Olga Egorova<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/sherbina.ru\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Website Alexander Scherbina<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Related article<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a title=\"Permanent Link to Hajo Hoffmann \u2013 On Tour with his Mandolin Solo Program \u201cMandovocale\u201d \u2013 New CD\" href=\"http:\/\/www.mandoisland.com\/?p=3598\" rel=\"bookmark\">Hajo Hoffmann \u2013 On Tour with his Mandolin Solo Program \u201cMandovocale\u201d \u2013 New CD<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olga Egorova is a mandolin player from Russia.
