Cleveland's beloved Ukrainian-American singer, bandura (zither-lute)
player, and ethnomusicologist Nadia Tarnawsky joins Ukrainian Women's
Voices, a collective of New-York-area Ukrainian and American women
singers, to present a program of Ukrainian ritual and seasonal folksongs,
sung in traditional village singing style and in Ukrainian folk polyphony.
The evening's concert is the second in the Ukrainian Women's Voices
series, following a concert at Columbia University in May by the
Collective and its previous instructor, Ukrainian singer/actress/song
collector Mariana Sadowska.

The daughter of Ukrainian immigrants, Tarnawsky has studied Ukrainian and
Eastern European singing for nearly two decades under leading teachers,
including Mariana Sadowska from Ukraine and New Jersey-based Lilia
Pavlovsky. With Sadowska, Nadia undertook several field trips across
Ukraine to learn village songs directly from elder singers. She has
studied music history/ethnomusicology at Cleveland State University and
currently creates musical theater productions based on Ukrainian folksong,
for American audiences. Ms. Tarnawsky has taught at the Cleveland
Institute of Music since 1997.

Ukrainian-American singer and bandurist Julian Kytasty co-hosts the
program, which features performances by the musicians of the New York
Bandura Ensemble and other special guests. Audience participation in the
singing will be encouraged.

Please join us for a reception after the concert in the Museum's lower level.

Ukrainian Women's Voices with Nadia Tarnawsky and Friends is presented by
Ukrainian Wave, a Community Cultural Initiative of the Center for
Traditional Music and Dance, The Ukrainian Museum, and New York Bandura
Ensemble/Bandura Downtown. The Ukrainian Women's Voices series was
developed with assistance from Columbia Teachers College Music and Music
Education and Virlana Tkacz/Yara Arts Group.

Support for the Ukrainian Wave Community Cultural Initiative was provided
to the Center for Traditional Music and Dance by the National Endowment
for the Arts Heritage and Preservation Program; the New York State Music
Fund, established by the New York State Attorney General at the
Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors; and American Express Company.
Additional support was provided by public funds from the New York State
Council on the Arts, a State agency; the New York City Department of
Cultural Affairs; and Con Edison.
