Terrific Tuesday - Czardas - Aydar Gaynullin & Darius Krapikas & Kaunas City Symphony Orc...

Thanks to Elaine, we have this very fun piece with a violin and accordion joining the orchestra.  This piece is based on the  traditional Hungarian folk dance.  Bands and orchestras picked this up and the result is what we get to see here.  What fun.
