Concert of solidarity with Ukraine
Sunday, May 26, 2024 at 3 pm at Espace Concorde, the association Portal of Ukraine organizes a charity concert of the National Ensemble of Bandourists of Ukraine. This 105-year-old orchestra is named after Georgiy Mayboroda, a famous Ukrainian composer. It is a real phenomenon of Ukrainian cultural heritage: 40 men play the «bandoura» (kind of lute of the 14th century) and sing at the same time. The ensemble is led by Yuriy Kurach. Folk songs are the basis of the repertoire, with patriotic works and contemporary melodies become popular in Ukraine. Choral singing, accompanied by the delicate timbre of the bandoura, creates an unforgettable impression. Price: free participation.
