The Tamburitzans is a performing arts organization based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, that preserves and presents international cultural heritages through live performances. Originating as the Duquesne University Tamburitzans in 1937, the group transitioned to an independent nonprofit under the Pittsburgh International Folk Arts Institute in 2016, continuing to stage culturally focused shows while awarding scholarships to students attending a Pittsburgh-area university. The organization operates with a modest size and centers its activities on showcasing traditional arts to audiences seeking authentic folkloric entertainment and educational opportunities. Its activities place it within the performing arts sector, with a mission that combines cultural presentation and support for emerging scholars.
