SUMMARY:Tamburitza Orchestra Play Along
DESCRIPTION:This powerful music is contagious and accessible. Native to Serbia\, Croatia and neighboring regions\, it also has had a strong presence in the US for over a century\, where pockets of immigrants have kept this joyful culture alive. See our list of links below to learn more. \nPlease consider joining this orchestra for the day if you play plucked or bowed strings\, accordion\, or like to sing! These tunes fit well on the traditional tamburica instruments which are tuned in 4ths\, but can also be played on mandolins or other plucked strings as well as fiddles of course. \n  \nLearn More & Register
