Carols of Birds, Bells, and Peace from Ukraine: A Holiday Celebration
Esteemed choral director Marika Kuzma, a first generation Ukrainian American and professor emerita of music at UC Berkeley, returns to campus with her acclaimed Ensemble Cherubim and a selection of special guests. Performed in Ukrainian interwoven with several other languages, the stirring program of songs, hymns, carols, and spoken word captures the intimacy of music traditionally sung in Ukrainian homes, churches, and town squares during the holiday season, including Mykola Leontovych's renowned "Shchedryk" ("Carol of the Bells") and a host of musical treasures from ancient times to the present day. Projections of the varied Ukrainian landscape will immerse you in the beauty of the country and the culture, lifting your spirits for the holidays and into the new year.
