Oberlin College and Conservatory

The Šarena Tamburitza Orchestra

Friday, April 5, 2013 at 8:00pm to 9:30pm

Oberlin Conservatory of Music, Central Unit Room 25 77 W. College St.

The Šarena Tamburitza Orchestra (http://www.sarenaorchestra.com/Backgrounds%20&%20Bios.htm) comes to Oberlin as the Third Annual Artists in Residence of the Oberlin Center for Russian, East European and Central Asian Studies (OCREECAS). Šarena, known as one of the top tambura ensembles performing today and one of only very few professional female bands, will perform a concert of traditional and popular music from Croatia, Serbia, and other parts of Southeastern Europe.

The concert will include sets for both listening and dancing (OCREECAS Postdoctoral Fellow Ian MacMillen will teach and lead traditional circular Southeast European line dances).

A discussion over pizza dinner with the members of the ensemble will precede the concert and will address the music's place in Southeastern Europe and among the diaspora in North America (the dinner discussion is free and open to the Oberlin community: 6 to 7:30 pm in the Conservatory's McGregor Skybar, located between the Kohl Building and the Central Unit).
