"The Brass Souls of Our Ancestors"
After centuries of occupation by the Ottoman Empire, the duke of Serbia invited an Austrian musician and maestro to bring European cultural influences to his country. With him came the trumpet, which until then hadn’t existed in Serbian traditional music. The first brass orchestra was formed in 1831, and today it is one of the most recognizable symbols of Serbian culture and identity.
