June 8 - Off Centre Music Salon - Ukrainian Salon: Against all hope, we hope
Ukrainian culture is as rich and precious as the black Ukrainian soil that earned the country its nickname as “the breadbasket of Europe.” As Russia redraws borders, indiscriminately bombing civilians, schools and hospitals and doing everything in its power to make Ukrainian resilience impossible, we turn to that precious culture. “Sing my songs where evil holds its sway,” wrote Ukrainian poet Lesya Ukrainka and that is exactly what we plan to do, weaving a program that will unite the music of Western and Eastern Ukraine, including Canadian premieres of works by Valentin Bibik, Leonid Desyatnikov, Vladimir Nalyvaiko as well as Ukrainian art and folk songs.
