Milan's Vintage Tamburas at Serb Fest 2009

posted by milan opacich on Sep 10th, 2009 at 12:29 am

Just a sampling of Milan's collection of rare tamburas were a very important part of this year's Serb Fest themed exhibit "Immigrants, Serbs of Steel".  Hundreds of visitors enjoyed the display of musical instruments: tamburas, flutes, a gusle, rare sheet music, and records. Adam Popovich's sketches were also a reminder of Milan's friendship with a legend who had multiple talents. Milan is founding member of the Serbian Historical Society.
