Over the past century, the ensemble has performed in Carnegie Hall, Massey Hall, Lincoln Center, and Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, touching and inspiring hundreds of thousands of listeners with its performances, educational programs, and extensive discography. The ensemble continues to amplify Ukraine’s voice and to highlight the culture's history and identity.
