Community Celebration
UKRAINIAN HALL COMMUNITY CONCERT & SUPPER
Sunday November 8, 3pm, Supper follows
Ukrainian Hall, 805 E. Pender
Tickets $25
The festival ends on a high note at the East End’s historic Ukrainian Hall with lively music, invigorating dance and colourful costumes at the Ukrainian Hall Community Concert & Supper.
This annual favourite, produced with the Association of United Ukrainian Canadians, features the Barvinok Choir led by choral director Beverly Dobrinsky, the Vancouver Folk Orchestra – one of the oldest and largest folk orchestras in Vancouver, and the award-winning Dovbush Dancers.
Special guests include: Downtown Eastside’s rising stars Twin Bandit (Hannah Walker and Jamie Elliott) with young and talented student musicians from the acclaimed St. James Music Academy; First Nations performance group Tzo’kam, a Lil-wat family group who offer traditional and contemporary songs including drumming and dancing, led by composer, producer and traditional singer Russell Wallace; and Vancouver’s home-grown Balkan Brass band Orkestar Slivovica playing an extravaganza of passionate and energetic Roma-style festive music. William Nahanee (Kwel-a-a-nexw “person who listens and does something”) of the Squamish Nation will open with a blessing song.
After this cultural feast, we gather downstairs for a delicious traditional Ukrainian Supper! Be sure to have a look at the newly-painted mural in the basement hall by artist Oksana Gaidasheva. Concert and supper $25. Book your ticket in advance for this very popular event; for tickets call 604-254-3436.
