Motanka: The Voice of the Bloodline - OTTAWA

Motanka: The Voice of the Bloodline is a powerful multimedia concert experience that weaves together classical music in the form of art songs, storytelling, and visual art to showcase Ukrainian identity, cultural memory, and resilience.
This project reimagines the traditional classical concert format. While rooted in classical vocal and piano performance, the concert expands beyond a conventional recital into a theatrical and cinematic storytelling experience. The program is inspired by the traditional Ukrainian Motanka doll — a cultural symbol representing protection, ancestry, and the continuity of the family bloodline.
We are taking our audience on a journey of a human soul. Through themes of childhood, love, loss, memory, and hope, the project demonstrates that despite cultural differences, people everywhere share the same emotional experiences.
Join us to witness something new, different and truly memorable.
Featured artists:
Valeriia Honchar (soprano)
Vladimir Soloviev (piano)
Anhelina Ihnativ (visual artist)
Valeriia Honchar and Vladimir Soloviev will guide audiences through a powerful musical journey, while visual artist Anhelina Ihnativ creates a deep symbolic connection through symbolic painting. Inspired by the Ukrainian Motanka doll, her original artwork—created especially for this event—will be auctioned during the evening, giving one audience member the opportunity to take home a truly meaningful and remarkable piece of art.
Bloodline is all about continuity and support. Beyond the artistic experience, the concert carries an important humanitarian mission. A portion of auctioned funds as well as the ticketing will be redirected towards humanitarian needs, supporting children in Ukraine who have been effected by war. The group that we are working with is United by Love for Children.
Join us for an unforgettable evening where music, art, and storytelling come together with purpose.
Stay tuned to hear more details...
