For those not familiar with the sound of the Serbian Truba?i, be prepared. To Western ears it sounds somewhat Middle Eastern, yet there is a familiar rhythm here and there, a familiar tune. Something sounds right but awry...are they in tune? Can a trumpet sound like that?
Yes to both questions. A typical Serbian Truba?i orchestra is often comprised of local village musicians, who get together at the end of the day and want nothing more than to play into their horns. As such, they are often by no means professional, with no "formal" education. Their music is raw, built upon centuries of living under the influence of the West and of the East. Over the course of generations, a new music arose, a music that fused the Orient with the Occident.
We are the Serbian Truba?i of the Arizona desert and play to the ears of those enflamed by the burning sun.
We are the Serbian Truba?i of the Diaspora and play to the hearts of Serbs longing for their homeland.
The Hellenic Dance Program
consists of 3 groups: The Little Aegeans (K-4th grade), the Aegean Dancers
(5th-8th grades), and the Hellenic Dance Troupe (9th-12th grade/young
adults). This ministry has been in existence since the beginning of Holy
Trinity in Orlando. Throughout the years, the main purpose has always
been to preserve the tradition of Greek folk dancing in America . The
dance groups meet weekly to practice dances from the various regions
of Greece . Our repertoire includes over 30 dances. Come and experience
the excitement and fun of Greek dancing as these talented groups perform
throughout the Greek Fest Weekend. There will be many opportunities for
you to join them or watch as they... dance the night (and day) away!
Formed by a group of young people from the former Yugoslavia, Srpska Kruna Folk Dance Ensemble came to life in 1999 as part of St. Petka Serbian Orthodox Church in Lake Mary, Florida. These dancers came together with the desire to learn and display their culture and tradition of the "ole country" through ethnic dances of the former Yugoslavia under the direction of choreographers, Robert & Irena Lasic, of New Smyrna Beach, Florida.
"Srpska Kruna" translated into English is the "Serbian Crown", a symbol of the pride, tradition, and culture of the Serbian people. Srpska KrunaÕs repertoire includes an array of approximately 25 dances originating from two different regions of the Serbian Republic of the former Yugoslavia.
