He was amazing. He showed up on time. Was so good. We had so many people say it was a unique thing to have at our event. People would just sit and watch him and said he was mesmerizing to watch. Would for sure invite him back.

Response from Cimbalom solo, or group:
Kalie, I am so glad I get to know you! I met so many wonderful people! It was very easy for me to play. Will definitely meet again.
Thank you!
I can't express enough how thrilled we were to hire Igor to play the cimbalom for our festival. His performance was nothing short of spectacular, earning a well-deserved five-star rating! We loved his performance so much that we hired him again the following weekend to play at another festival.
From the moment he started playing, it was evident that we had made an exceptional choice. Igor's skill and expertise were truly remarkable. His music added a unique and enchanting dimension to our festival, captivating the audience's hearts and minds.
Igor's professionalism and dedication were equally impressive. He was easy to work with, punctual, and truly committed to making our festival a success.
I can confidently say that hiring Igor was one of the best decisions we made for our event. It elevated the atmosphere, and our festival wouldn't have been the same without him. If you're looking for a world-class cimbalom player, look no further. This artist deserves all the stars!

What to Expect
Cimbalom is not a dulcimer. It sounds closer to piano and harp. It has full sound and it is quite fascinating to watch.
About
Cimbalom performer Igor Iachimciuc collaborated with the top orchestras and ensembles in Moldova (his native country) performing music in different genres, touring in Romania, Russia, Hungary, Finland, Israel, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, Spain, USA, and Serbia. Igor is a winner of many prestigious instrumental competitions. Among them are Stefan Neaga regional competition, and Barbu Lautaru National competition.
Igor Iachimciuc holds a PhD in music composition from the University of Utah.

Igor’s engagements include Tanglewood music festival, Intermezzo chamber music series, Salt Lake Symphony, BYU Philharmonic orchestra, and Weiser Fiddle Festival.
Cimbalom, a Hungarian string-percussion instrument, was originally used only by folk musicians, but today the stylistic range suitable for this instrument is rapidly extending. In 2008 Igor released an album Country Road, recorded with a prominent Utah bassist Jim Stout. This album is an experimental crossover project, which combines Eastern European folk music and jazz. In 2010 Igor recorded a composition by American prominent composer Morris Rosenzweig released on Albany Records. In 2012 an album Dialogue, was released as a result of collaboration with Moldovan accordionist Edgar Stefanet. Igor currently works on multiple solo and group projects, collaborating with international musicians such as violinist Valeri Glava, flutist Cezar Cazanoi, clarinetist Marcel Chirilov, and ensembles Canyonlands, Salty Crickets, Cheres, Forward 4 and Concertino.
Besides being a performer, Igor Iachimciuc is a prominent composer. His music was successfully performed throughout the world. At present time Igor is an adjunct professor of composition and the director of the New Music Ensemble at the University of Utah. His music can be heard on Centaur Records, Itunes, Amazon, and other major music labels.
