Chubritza
September 11, 2004

For its Opening Night Gala, the Fortuna Concert Series is proud to once again present Chubritza, the popular ethnic dance band, playing traditional songs and dance music of the Balkan nations, Eastern Europe, and the United States.

Chubritza is the name of a Bulgarian table spice and reflects the band's variety and mixture of international musical tastes and textures. The group is well known locally for performances at folk dance events, weddings, cultural celebrations and festivals.

The members reflect a broad spectrum of experience including training in classical Western music, Balkan, Klezmer, Celtic and international folk music styles. The performers of Chubritza are Randy Carrico, Deborah Dukes, Janet Finney, Craig Kurumada, Linnea Mandell, and Kroy Rubin. In addition to many traditional instruments such as accordion, saxophone, flute, violin, bass, and guitar, unusual instruments will include: gajda, tupan, tarabuka, tamburitza, frula, and tambura.

For the beginning of a wonderful season, come and enjoy this delightful group and experience the happiness music brings to the heart.

The annual Champagne Reception will precede the concert at 7:15pm.
