American Balalaika Symphony January 16, 2010

Discover the uniquely beautiful sound of this orchestra, which in Russian tradition replaces the customary bowed strings of the violin family with plucked balalaikas and domras, producing a shimmering sound augmented by full wind and percussion sections and such unusual instruments as the bayan (Russian button accordion) and the gusli (large horizontal table harp).
