We are always building our orchestra and the new year is a great time to start. We invite anyone who wants to learn to play domra (transitions easily from violin or mandolin families) or balalaika. Music reading knowledge is a necessity. We furnish instruments and we have teachers. We also welcome musicians skilled on accordion or bayan. We play the music of Ukraine, Russia, Eastern Europe and beyond on folk instruments. Visit us at www.balalaika.org to learn about us and hear our music.
