    People are Talking: UMS Presents Goran Bregovic and his Wedding and Funeral Orchestra at Hill Auditorium:

  • we were smiling throughout the entire thing, what fun! I loved it! Noticed that I was hearing instruments that weren’t on stage but thought, well, I’m still having fun! I loved the mixture of styles, the women singers were outstanding! loved the male chorus although their director “over” directed in an odd way. The melodies, a mixture of Balkan (including that Turkish influence!), and modern was interesting and different. Loved the Serbian flag flying in the audience, the enthusiastic young people dancing in the aisles. I’d love a repeat performance next year. I’m Romanian American so I knew exactly what a wedding and funeral orchestra was all about. My husband had to idea, but came away loving it!
