invite you to a performance of Lemko folk songs,

JULIA DOSZNA

Born in the village of Bielanka in the Lemko region (now located in
south-eastern Poland), Julia Doszna will perform songs from her
newly-released album, titled “Immigrant.” Many of these Lemko folk
songs, depicting the life of immigrants who came to the U.S., have been
resurrected and not heard in over a hundred years. Julia Doszna, who
began her career singing with the folk group “Lemkovyna,” has performed
in numerous theaters and festivals in Poland and Ukraine, and previously
produced the albums “Tam na Lemkovyni” (There in Lemkovyna) and “Choho
plachesh” (Why Are You Crying?).

Julia will be accompanied on the piano by DAVID LIBBY, who has worked as 
a professional pianist in the United States for over 20 years and who, 
while earning his Master’s of Music Degree from Rutgers University, 
studied with jazz piano legend Kenny Baron.

ADRIANA HELBIG, who recently received her PhD from Columbia
University's Department of Music, will offer a brief introduction
before Ms. Doszna's performance.
