Event Description
With Songs of the Ukrainian Forest, the musical collective Kurbasy presents an audio-visual exploration of a country’s proud people through a rich trove of lullabies and legends.
Through art song, the artists conjure their views of the natural world, beliefs, and rituals, tracing contemporary connections to a rich cultural past. Tight vocal harmonies summon visions of Slavic mythic poetry, indigenous ceremonies, and seasonal rituals. The sounds of traditional dulcimer, wind and stringed instruments, and Tibetan singing bowls round out a multimedia cultural experience.
Kurbasy started as an avant-garde arts collective in response, first, to the Covid pandemic; and second, to wartime the ensemble’s home of Lviv, Ukraine, a cultural hub of Slavic cultures.
