Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus

[Deborah Hoffman]

Am I the only one who first read this as the "Ukrainian Banderist Chorus"? What an interesting image!
   
  Anyway, you might try the Ukrainian Museum/Archives in Cleveland (not limited to Cleveland info). Their website is:  http://www.umacleveland.org/index1.htm
   
  Also try Walt Mahovlich of the group Harmonia (harmonia at core.com), a local folk orchestra. It just seems like the kind of thing he would know about. Their site is: http://www.harmoniaband.com/main.html
   
  Hope this helps...

Hello,
I am seeking audio visual archival information on a folk group
known as the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus. The group emigrated
to North America in 1949 via NYC and settled in the Detroit area.
They performed throughout the USA and Canada in the decades
since. I am specifically looking for early footage of the group
that may have been captured by news services, and others from
the period 1949-1980. They also went under the name 'Ukrainian
Bandura Band'.

I am also seeking visual information from their time in Germany
  from 1942-1949. They toured the factories during the course of
WW2, and spent time in the DP camps after the war was over. Any
  film footage here would be of interest.

Please feel free to contact me if you can assist me in this search.

Regards,
