“Sjepan Bujan – Stipić” County Tamburica Orchestra Biography “Stjepan Bujan – Stipić” County Tamburica Orchestra was founded in Čakovec in October 1997. The orchestra has carried the name of its long-time conductor, Stjepan Bujan – Stipić, since his early demise in 2005, as a way of honouring and acknowledging his work. Since its first public performance in 1998, the orchestra has performed all across Croatia and its neighbouring countries, winning many awards in state competitions. So far, the orchestra has won more than dozen “Pajo Kolarić Tambura” plaques (ten golden, one silver and two bronze) at the International festival of Croatian tambura music in Osijek. It is regularly ranked in top three at the “Tamburica Orchestra and Ensemble Gathering” organised by the Croatian Cultural Association, and in 2018 it won the first prize for the best performance of a domestic author and the third prize for the overall performance.
