AMOC presents: Amplify featuring Baba Yaga Orkestar


Arts Mission Oak Cliff

Introducing Amplify: A new AMOC produced concert series dedicated to amplifying the voices of BIPOC artists and celebrating music from different cultures all around the world! Join us for an inspiring night of music with a different artist each week! 

On August 28, join us for Baba Yaga Orkestar!

Baba Yaga Orkestar is a Dallas-based, Balkan Brass Band that performs music from Eastern Europe. The group collects, arranges, and transcribes popular folk songs from Bulgaria, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Bosnia, and Romani (Gypsy) cultures. Baba Yaga Orkestar creates a unique sound by blending Western jazz elements, instrumentation, and improvisation into Eastern European harmonies, meter, and tonality. To reach new listeners, the band also performs “One-Hit Wonders” with a quirky, polka-like sound. Composed of band directors, elementary music educators, and private lesson music teachers from the greater Dallas area, the Baba Yaga Orkestar strives to uplift, connect, and entertain audiences with their blend of Eastern European and American music.

Band Members:

Justin Anderson, Mellophone/Cornet/Piano

Matthew Banks, Clarinet/Saxophone

Kevin Cho, Percussion

Trevor Clipp, Tuba

Brianna Compton, Flugabone

Jacob Diewald, Trumpet

Jacob Muzquiz, Trombone
