Strasbourg,
France. July 3, 2003
The
year 2003 celebrated the 85th Anniversary
of the award winning Ukrainian Bandurist
Chorus. The all-male Ukrainian Bandurist
Chorus has a long and proud history
of representing Ukrainian bandura
and choral music on the international
stage since its founding in 1918.
Fortified by a whole new generation
of young musicians, the Chorus has
captivated audiences in major concert
halls in the United States, Canada,
Europe, Australia, and Ukraine. The
Chorus last toured throughout Europe
in 1958. We returned in the summer
of 2003 and want to share our story
with you.
