The Sembrich announces its 2012 Annual Meeting, to be held March 12th at the Queensbury Hotel in downtown Glens Falls. The meeting will feature a short performance by the Tamurizans of Duquesne University. The Tamburizans will also give a performance at the Wood Theater in Glens Falls at 7:30 pm that same evening. Tickets can be purchased through the Wood Theater Box Office or by calling The Sembrich at 518-644-2431. The annual meeting is open to all Sembrich members.
In keeping with the World Music theme, The Sembrich is delighted to announce that the world famous Tamburitzans of Duquesne University will be returning to the Wood Theater on March 10, 2012.
The dynamic 32-member music and dance ensemble last appeared in the North Country in 2008 in a special performance marking the 150th anniversary of Marcella Sembrich’s birth. The sellout event garnered raves and was acclaimed as one of the highlights of the 2008 performance season. This “not-to-be-missed” return appearance will coincide with The Sembrich’s 2012 annual member meeting at the Queensbury Hotel.
