"Voices of Ukraine"
Skidmore College / Saratoga Springs, NY
Amid the ongoing war in Ukraine, Skidmore invites the community to join in a poignant celebration of Ukrainian culture through its rich musical and dance traditions. In collaboration with the Ukrainian Classical Voice Project, founded by Skidmore faculty member Irina Petrik, this event highlights the resilience and beauty of a nation through its artistry.
Under the musical direction of Yelena Kurdina (Metropolitan Opera), the concert features guest soprano Vedrana Kalas, Skidmore faculty artists, student soloists, and the Vocal Chamber Ensemble. A special highlight of the evening is the Zorepad Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, led by Skidmore student and artistic director Lucas Lewyckyj. Together, these artists will present a powerful program of rarely heard works from Ukrainian opera, art song, and folk traditions, offering a moving tribute to Ukraine's cultural heritage.
This event is free and open to the public. No ticket required.
