It has been performing in the Greater Washington, DC, area and beyond for almost 36 years. It is the largest and most developed folk orchestra of its kind in America. Most people recognize the music of a Russian folk orchestra with \u201cLara\u2019s Theme\u201d from the motion picture <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Doctor Zhivago<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, in which Omar Sharif carried the red balalaika across Russia.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008085\"><em><strong>How did you join the orchestra, and what instrument do you play?\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">I joined the orchestra about 23 years ago with a friend\u2014we were both playing our violins in a church orchestra in Old Town, Alexandria. He suggested I learn the domra and join the Washington Balalaika Society Orchestra. The domra is an oval instrument, like a mandolin, and played with a pick rather than a bow. The transition from playing a violin to a domra is relatively easy because both instruments are tuned the same. At first, I was hesitant to join because I was working full-time; however, after several months of thinking about it, I went to a rehearsal and was captivated by the music! I have attended annual conventions of balalaika orchestras where more than 100 musicians have performed for a guest conductor from the famous Osipov Russian folk orchestra of Moscow.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008085\"><em><strong>What is the makeup of the orchestra?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Our orchestra is organized in sections similar to a symphony orchestra and under the direction of a conductor. The domras are <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">in five voices: first\u202fand second prima domra (which I play),\u202falto, tenor,\u202fand bass. The balalaikas are in five voices: prima, sekunda,\u202falto, bass, contrabass. There is also the gusli (similar to a table harp),\u202faccordions, bayan (Russian accordion), wind instruments (flutes, oboes, clarinet,\u202fand folk winds),\u202fand both conventional\u202fand folk percussion instruments. Our conductor is a graduate of the prestigious Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatory in St. Petersburg, Russia.
