An acclaimed singer, actress, composer, and folksong collector, Mariana Sadowska
is visiting the U.S. this year from Ukraine as a Fulbright scholar at Pennsylvania
State University. Sadowska has gathered a group of New-York-area Ukrainian and American
women to sing with her this evening in the traditional village singing style and
Ukrainian folk polyphony.
Ukrainian-American singer and bandura (zither-lute) player Julian Kytasty co-hosts
the program, which features performances by the musicians of the New York Bandura
Ensemble and other special guests. Singers trained by Sadowska will perform from
the audience as well as the stage, encouraging all to join in the singing.


Admission is free and open to the public. Children are welcome.
Ukrainian Women's Voices with Mariana Sadowska and Friends is presented by Ukrainian
Wave, a Community Cultural Initiative of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance,
in partnership with Columbia Teachers College Music and Music Education Department
and the New York Bandura Ensemble. For more information see CTMD's website www.ctmd.org,
