About this Event
Orkestar Bez Ime presents Balkan Party Music

Travel with OBI through the captivating music of the Balkan peninsula, featuring the vibrant traditions of the Romany people of Eastern Europe, as you drink the water of life (a.k.a., your favorite Crooners beverage) and feast to your health!

Orkestar Bez Ime [or-KESS-tar behz EE-meh], meaning “orchestra without a name” in Bulgarian, was formed in 2002 to recreate the sounds of the village with a presentation as festive as the music itself. Focusing on Eastern Europe and music of the Rom (“Gypsy”) people, OBI’s repertoire reaches from Albania to Ukraine, with plenty of stops in between. Orkestar Bez Ime has received esteemed awards from the McKnight Foundation and the American Composers Forum.
