*A BANDURA CHRISTMAS*



Christmas will soon be upon us. Looking to pick up some recordings for
yourself, the family, and or friends? We have a solution for you. Take a
look at the recordings of the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus.

Orders have started coming in from around the world. You can place your
order today and still receive it in time for Christmas.

The UBC has an extensive discography. Wouldn’t it be nice to brush up on
some of your favorite carols? We have just the recording you need. “A
Bandura Christmas” features traditional Ukrainian carols along with some
well known English selections.

Did you know the UBC released its latest recording in January of this year?
Yes, the recording “1659” was released earlier this year and has gained
attention around the world. In 1659, Ukraine was under siege for over two
months as the invading Russian troops greatly outnumbered the Ukrainian
forces at Konotop – a city in northeastern Ukraine close to the Russian
border. Hryhory Kytasty’s legendary composition about this invasion, “The
Battle of Konotop”, is featured on this recording by the UBC.

While looking through our Discography Page (
http://www.bandura.org/recordings.htm), take a listen to the many sound
clips from various recordings.

These recordings and more can be ordered securely online through PayPal at

*The Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus *

*Enchanting the world since 1918*

*www.bandura.org* <http://www.bandura.org/>

* *

Founded in 1918, the *Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus* has a long and proud
history of representing the bandura and Ukrainian choral music on the
international stage.  Boasting a repertoire of more than 500 songs, this
internationally celebrated and award-winning ensemble has captivated
audiences in major concert halls in the United States, Canada, Europe,
Australia, and Ukraine since immigrating to North America from Europe in
1949.   They have also performed for such noted personalities as former
President Richard Nixon, former President Ronald Reagan, movie star Jack
Palance, and former President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk.   Most recently,
the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus was featured at the internationally renowned
*Stratford Summer Music Festival*, and presented *Bandura Christmas
International* with Metropolitan Opera soloist Paul Plishka.  As a tribute
to its role in preserving and perpetuating the legacy of Ukrainian music,
the Chorus was selected by Ukraine's Cabinet of Ministers as the *recipient
of the Taras Shevchenko Ukrainian State Prize, the highest award that can be
bestowed for excellence in the contribution to the arts*.
