The
Tamburitzans is a
unique ensemble of
talented young folk artists dedicated to the performance and
preservation of the music, songs, and dances of Eastern Europe and
neighboring folk cultures. America's longest-running
multicultural song and dance company, they are full-time students at
Duquesne University
When the Tamburitzans perform, their stage becomes a kaleidoscope of sight and sound. Songs are sung in many languages and dialects. Footwork is articulated in hundreds of styles. Folk instruments such as the bandura, tambura, gadulka and cimbalom are plucked, picked, bowed and hammered. During a single performance, over 400 original and authentically reproduced costumes are worn by the performers. Each costume is meticulously researched for authenticity, then created for the stage. The result is a carousel of style and color. The multitude of cultural influences come from the countries and ethnographic regions of Eastern and Southeastern Europe, including: Armenia
Czech Republic
