America’s longest-running multicultural song and dance company, the Duquesne University TAMBURITZANS is a
unique ensemble of talented young folk artists (including fabulous accordionists with FLYING fingers!) dedicated
to the performance and preservation of the music, songs, and dances of Eastern Europe and neighboring folk cultures.
The performers are full-time students who receive substantial scholarship awards from Duquesne University, with
additional financial aid provided by Tamburitzans Scholarship Endowment Funds. This year, the Tamburitzans of
Duquesne University celebrates its 70th season and invites you to participate in the spirit and pride of folklore, that
we may never forget who we are and “the way we were…” www.tamburitzans.duq.edu
If you love polka music, you’ll love this festival.
Maestro Anthony Galla-Rini was truly a legend of the accordion -- devoted to the serious and classical study of the
accordion, he wrote hundreds of arrangements, published his own method books, and in 1941, composed his first ac-
cordion concerto which he performed with the Oklahoma Symphony Orchestra. A recognized virtuoso, Galla-Rini
toured the world, giving concerts and solo recitals, and played on numerous movie soundtracks (High Noon, Laura).
At the Galla-Rini Accordion Camp, attendees play all kinds of music in the ensemble -- classical, semi-classical,
American musicals and more. It’s about learning to play musically, and learning to play in an ensemble, which is an
entirely different experience from playing alone.
