Tamburitza appeared in the Balkans between the 14th and the 15th Century amid different conquests by various peoples. It found its everlasting home in these parts. From then on, it has been changing its shape, becoming as we know it today. In the year 1847 Osijek town Chief Pajo Kolarić, with his tamburitza, along with five other players of this instrument founded the first ever tamburitza ensemble. His descendants Mijo Majer and Ivan Sladaček continue the tradition of the evolution of tamburitza, leading up to the year 1882 when Majer founded the first tamburitza orchestra led by a conductor and Sladaček composes the first score for a tamburitza ensemble. We associate the beginnings of the tamburitza chamber music with an event from 1847 when tamburitza played for the first time as a part of an ensemble. An important event for tamburitza and tamburitza music happened in 1937 by founding a tamburitza alliance in Osijek when major agreements have been made on the further evolution of the concert tamburitza music. Moreover, founding of the Festival of the tamburitza music of Yugoslavia, today International festival of the artistic tamburitza music, was a key factor in evolution in the near future because it connects different orchestras and chamber music ensembles in one place, bringing new compositions and an incentive for the development of the concert music making. What is equally as important for the continued growth of the chamber music making with tamburitza is the implementation of tamburitza in the school system and to the academies, where the playing in a chamber music ensemble and orchestra is being more and more cherished, and is along with that being encouraged to perfect the chamber music playing. The composers have been composing for the chamber music ensembles now more than ever,even those who haven’t been properly introduced to this instrument.
