Concert: A Musical Encounter with Ukraine

The “BERISKA” ensemble from Kyiv will provide a special highlight, performing sacred songs and folk songs from the traditional Ukrainian repertoire—featuring lyrics by famous Ukrainian poets and melodies played on the country’s traditional instruments.

The famous Cossack ballads from ancient Ukraine—which not only sound melancholic but can also be rousing—will be performed to the accompaniment of banduras. The audience at this concert will experience the diverse musical range of traditional Ukrainian music live.

This music aims to provide a glimpse into the Ukrainian soul—its depth, warmth, tenderness, and love for the homeland.

The ensemble’s members are professional musicians and students from the Kyiv and Lviv Music Academies, as well as members of the Kyiv and Lviv Independent Music Associations and the Chernihiv Philharmonic.

The ensemble was founded in Kyiv in 2003 and, from the very beginning, has distinguished itself by supporting young musicians and, through benefit concerts in the United Kingdom, by aiding children’s homes in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions, among others.



The “BERISKA” ensemble from Kyiv has also made several successful guest appearances in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Denmark, France, and Luxembourg.
