Join members of Kurbasy and Santa Fe's Sevda Choir and learn some beautiful Ukrainian folk songs! We did this workshop in 2018, our first time doing an international folk singing workshop, and it was such a treat!  We are thrilled to be able to offer it again.  Please join us for Kurbasy’s concerts at Outpost and San Miguel Chapel on November 8 and 9.

This workshop is sponsored and hosted by Ukrainian American's of New Mexico.

Kurbasy will be here as part of Center Stage, a public diplomacy initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs with funding provided by the U.S. Government, administered by the New England Foundation for the Arts in cooperation with the U.S. Regional Arts Organizations. General management is provided by Lisa Booth Management, Inc.

Kurbasy was here in 2018 for a fun residency that included shows at Outpost and Paradiso, our first foreign language folk singing workshop, and a workshop at UNM. We look forward to their return visit!

Kurbasy is an avant-garde musical project of the renowned progressive Les Kurbas Theatre in Lviv, Ukraine. Founded in 2008 as an informal vocal gathering of singer-actresses, the group has performed across Europe—from the front lines of occupied Eastern Ukraine to concert halls in Western Europe and USA. The ambient approach of Kurbasy gives life to the indigenous polyphonic sounds of Ukraine's rich traditional music heritage. Led by vocalists, Kurbasy is now experimenting with the sounds of Ukrainian instruments—traditional dulcimer, winds and percussions together with Tibetan singing bowls, violin and double bass. The theatrical background of the group is a core component of Kurbasy's aesthetic. The music they perform is tied to, celebrates, and renews the rituals and the lived memories of Ukraine and her people.
