Shepherds of Apocrypha
Semi-established Eastern European experimental music ensemble specializing in the realization of obscure and/or impractical scores by 20th Century composers.

The Shepherds of Apocrypha (SOA) had a penchant for the daring and melodramatic, often dawning masks and employing lasers and smoke machines. The semi-professional Illuminati Quartet was often featured in SOA performances and was, by some accounts, a de facto member.
