Tamburitzans announce auditions

PITTSBURGH - America's premier folk ensemble, the Duquesne University Tamburitzans, will audition talent for the 2004-2005 performing season on February 4 and 5.

Graduating high school seniors and current college undergraduates with dance, vocal or musical talent may audition for a spot in the renowed ensemble, which presents the music, songs and dances of Eastern Europe and neighboring cultures.

The Tamburitzans perform from coast to coast, averaging 80 shows per season, which runs from mid-August through May. Experienced dancers, singers and instrumentalists are needed to fill positions for next season's production.

Successful auditionees will receive substantial scholarship aid (currently over $14,000 per year for up to four years) to study in the field of their choice at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. This is a great way for students to use their performing talents throughout their college careers while working towards a degree in information technology, pharmacy, law, health sciences, nursing, natural and environmental sciences, music, business administration, education, or any of the hundreds of specialized courses of study offered by Duquesne.

If travel to Pittsburgh is not possible, a 15-minute VHS video presentation showcasing the applicant's talents may be submitted.

For more information, or to schedule an audition, phone (412) 396-5185, fax (412) 396-5583, e-mail [email protected], or visit www.tamburitzans.duq.edu to download and print an audition application and guidelines.

The deadline for submissions is February 2.
