We invite you to a special holiday concert featuring acclaimed Ukrainian artists Valeriia Vovk and Fima Chupakhin. Their collaboration brings together Valeriia’s expressive, crystal-clear vocals and Fima’s nuanced, imaginative musicianship, creating a program that ranges from quietly introspective to boldly virtuosic. Drawing on the depth of Ukrainian musical tradition while adding their own contemporary sensibilities, they offer a concert that feels both fresh and deeply rooted.
From the oldest known Ukrainian carol "Oi Yak Zhe Bulo" to "Shchdryk" ("Carol of the Bells") and modern holiday favorites, this intimate acoustic evening blends tradition with jazz-inspired warmth. Join us to celebrate the season and immerse yourself in Ukrainian culture.
A wine reception will follow the concert. Advance registration is requested. Full info at ukrainianinstitute.org
