Alisa Apreleva is a Russian-American avantgarde singer, composer, poet. Alisa Apreleva's music is rooted in a wide variety of genres: from rock to jazz to classical to authentic folklore to music theatre to film music. She uses voice and an array of acoustic instruments (cellos, harp, hang drum, piano, ethnic drums), along with electronic processing, in her compositions, creating the style best described as "acoustic ambient". Alisa Apreleva's most recent project, "Lucidus", successfully premiered in Russia, Mexico and USA, includes 11 compositions for voice, drums and three celli. "Lucidus" is a completely unique sounding and emotive experience for anyone who listens to it. It is a strange, atmospheric mixture of classical, rock, ethnic and sacred elements, which takes you beyond the point of just listening to the music and gives you a chance to go for a mystical journey toward your true self. Some of the venues Alisa Apreleva has performed at are: Grand Concert Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire, Rachmaninov Concert Hall of the Moscow Conservatoire, B2 Club (Moscow, Russia), Webster Hall (NYC, NY), Middle East Downstairs (Cambridge, MA), David Friend Recital Hall of Berklee College of Music (Boston, MA), Old South Church (Boston, MA), Ritz Carlton Hall (Boston, MA), Amante Club (San Francisco, CA), Jewel Box Theatre (Seattle, WA), Dacha Club (Moscow, Russia), Library of Arts (Voronezh, Russia), Bilingua Club (Moscow, Russia), Laboratorio de Arte Alameda (Mexico City, Mexico), Tchaikovsky Concert Hall (Moscow, Russia), DOM cultural center (Moscow, Russia).
