A great history. A great show.

By Scott Stein

One of the interesting things about living in this area is our unique cultural heritage. Many of our families settled here to work in the mines and start a new life.

We brought our cultures with us, of course, and fought (and continue to fight) to keep them alive here.

On Sunday, August 7, the Discovery Center is presenting the Duquesne Tamburitzans, the longest-running multi-cultural song and dance company in this country. The Tamburitzans are dedicated to preserving the music, songs and dances of Eastern Europe.

There, I got all the proper stuff out the way. Now, let me say this: they’re a great show!



Check them out on YouTube and come out for the show on August 7. It starts at 2 o’clock and tickets are only $10. Also, a special thanks to the Minnesota State Arts Board for sponsoring the show.
