And a pround of Kubin - The Accordion Orchestra AMANDOLO, which has started in January 1993 at the Music school of Peter Michal Bohun in Dolný Kubín as a brainchild of Viera Vrtichová, its current art manager and conductor. Nowadays there are 39 members of the orchestra. The number of the orchestra members varies from year to year, depending on the number of the students of the school playing accordion. There are also synthesizer, bass guitar, drums and percussion, flute and piano players among the members of the orchestra.
