The University of Wisconsin Russian Folk Orchestra has a number of openings for musicians for the 2015-2016 school year. Come join us, and we will teach you how to play beautiful Russian music on exciting authentic Russian folk instruments, the domra and the balalaika. The Russian Folk Orchestra is the official and very unique University performing and touring ensemble. We welcome anyone, especially those who have any stringed instrument experience. Please note: the ability to read music is highly desirable! The Orchestra will supply you with the instrument, costume, and music. Free lessons are available. We meet once a week, Mondays, 7:00-9:30 pm in room 1418 (14th floor) Van Hise Hall on UW campus, 1220 Linden Drive. Fall practices will begin with the orientation session on Monday, September 14, 2015, at 7:00 pm. Come and be part of the excitement!
