Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus of North America
#StandWithUkraine
Driven by passion, tradition, and history, the all-male Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus preserves and exemplifies its mission as ambassadors of Ukrainian culture, music and the unique 60 stringed instrument, the bandura.
Formed in 1918, the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus is composed of talented musicians from North America, including: Alberta, California, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Our ensemble includes doctors, lawyers, students, engineers, businessmen, professors, retirees, and entrepreneurs all of whom share a passion for Ukrainian music and the bandura.
Since immigrating to North America from Europe in 1949 the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus continues to captivate audiences in major concert halls in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Ukraine.
