Bezdin Ensemble: Chamber orchestra, choir and vocalists specializing in sacred music.

Adina Spire is a classical composer and performer of sacred music for Catholic and Orthodox liturgies. She was born in Arad, Romania, on December 25th, 1977. At the age of four she began to study cello and later composition, first in Arad then in Switzerland and Germany. She worked almost exclusively in her native Romania and in Russia as a sacred music composer, director of choir and orchestra and teacher of film composition.

In 2008 she founded the Bezdin Ensemble, a specialized ensemble for sacred music, consisting of a chamber orchestra, choir and vocalists. The Bezdin Ensemble usually performs Adina Spires works and traditional sacred works from Vivaldi, Bach to Mozart for concerts and liturgical events. Adina Spire is artistic director and conductor of the ensemble. Her compositional works and performance style are strongly influenced by the symbolism of traditional and contemporary Eastern European religious music incorporating elements of gypsy folk traditions.

The Bezdin Ensemble members are at the moment based near Nischni Nowgorod in Russia, where they have their own recording studio. Managing directors of the ensemble are Adriana Spire (Adina's sister) and Olga Shtherbatova, produced by NC productions in Switzerland. Part of the female choir and instrumentalist of the Bezdin Ensemble got their education in the Bezdin orphanage in Romania, where Adina Spire grow up and lectured for some years.
