JUNE 4-5, 2016 CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL Programme Guide JUNE 4-5, 2016 CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL programme guide CALGARYUKRAINIANFESTIVAL.CA ВІТАЄМО-WELCOME! SPONSORED BY: CALGARY UKRAINIAN FESTIVAL 2016! On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Calgary Ukrainian Festival Foundation I would like to welcome you to the SEVENTH Annual Calgary Ukrainian Festival, “Lucky” number 7. There are so many meanings behind “7” across cultures, science, religions and our universe. 7 days in a week, 7 ancient wonders of the world, the 7 days of creation in Christianity, 7 colours in a rainbow, the 7 Heavens in Islam, 7 stars in the Big Dipper, the 7 branch Menorah in Judaism, opposing dice faces equal 7, the 7 Pleiades in Greek mythology, the 7th day in the Chinese New Year is called everyone’s birthday. The list is longer than most may think when it comes to the famous number 7. For many Ukrainians and other cultures that still follow the Julian Calendar, January “7” is Christmas Day! When Ukrainian immigration to Canada began 125 years ago many immigrants continued to celebrate Christmas on January 7. The Gregorian Calendar was already in use in the Western world which celebrates Christmas on December 25th. Did you know that is why it became popularly known as “Ukrainian Christmas” in the West? Why not celebrate it twice! Today we are here to celebrate all the beautiful customs and traditions that were brought to Canada over 125 years ago. We honour the memory of those who came in the search of a better life for their families by preserving all we have been taught. We never forget their hard work by continuing to share all that we practice as tradition. For many new to Canada from Ukraine in more recent years, it is an opportunity to re-connect with traditions that may have been forgotten through mass emigration 125 years ago. But it is also an opportunity to celebrate the new traditions of the next generation passed on from across the ocean! It is my pleasure to introduce to you our Board of Directors for 2016. Together we work to present every aspect of our Festival that is showcased before you. They are: Lysia Smandych – Vice Chairman & Stage Program Artistic Director Mike Ilnycky – HR Director & Fundraising Director Jordan Biss – Marketing & Promotions Director Austin Weleschuk – Venue & Vendor Coordinator Bohdan Tyrawski – Controller Wendy Wasylciw – Secretary Karen Uhryn – Operations Director We hope you enjoy your visit with us. Our house is your house. tpиmaЙcя – all the best CHRIS GNYRA Chairman, Board of Directors Calgary Ukrainian Festival A MESSAGE FROM PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN P. J.

NENSHI CULTURE - КУЛЬТУРА REMEMBERING NOELLA OSTACH WITH LOVE AND JOY OSTASH, NOELLA JOY EVE December 24, 1963 to November 1, 2015 Noella Joy Eve Ostash began taking dance and instrument lessons at a very early age. Her parents were instrumental in guiding her in her numerous Ukrainian cultural activities across Alberta throughout her childhood. She competed all throughout Alberta in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s and held the title for top tsymbalist (hammer dulcimer player) and accordionist for her age level for several years. During junior high school and senior high school, Noella sang and danced with CYM (the Ukrainian Youth Association), playing the accordion and tsymbaly (hammer dulcimer). She danced with the Tryzub Ukrainian Dance Ensemble as well as one of the earliest dance groups in Calgary, Yalenka. She also took bandura lessons. She participated in vocal, music and dance competitions at various festivals both as a soloist and in groups. During high school, Noella started a dance band called Luna with Kathy and George Sadiwnyk and Dave Ozimko. In the mid ‘80s, Noella sang in the Suzirya choir through CYM and danced in the Suzirya instrument if she had to tune a few years, and we travelled to ensemble.

  • CHERES Hailed to Be “The Best Purveyor of Authentic Ukrainian Folk
    CHERES Hailed to be “the best purveyor of authentic Ukrainian folk music in the United States” by the former head of the Archive of Folk Culture at the Library of Congress, Cheres brings to life melodies from the Carpathian mountains in Western Ukraine and neighboring Eastern European countries. Since its founding in 1990 by students of the Kyiv State Conservatory in the Ukraine, the ensemble has enthralled North American audiences with their rousing renditions of folk music performed on the cymbalum, violin, woodwinds, accordion, bass, and percussion. Virtuoso musicians join spirited dancers, all donned in traditional Western Ukrainian hand-embroidered garments, to paint a vivid picture of Ukrainian folk art. The musicians, most of whom are from Halychyna in western Ukraine, are united by an artistic vision to preserve their traditions. “Cheres” is actually a little known Ukrainian term for a metal- studded leather belt formerly used as a bulletproof vest during the Middle Ages. Today, the group Cheres has adopted this Medieval protective shield as their name to symbolize the safeguarding of vanishing folk art traditions from the Carpathian mountains. This seasoned ensemble has performed in nightclubs and concerts in New York City; music festivals in the Tri-State area, including Lincoln Center’s Out of Doors Festival in 2006 and Folk Parks in 2000, as well as colleges and universities on the east coast. Cheres has appeared on television on NBC’s Weekend Today show, as well as the Food Network’s Surprise! show. Tracks from their latest CD, Cheres: From the Mountains to the Steppe” have been played on WNYC’s New Sounds program, as well as other stations in the region.

  • Chapter IX: Ukrainian Musical Folklore Discography As a Preserving Factor
    Art Spiritual Dimensions of Ukrainian Diaspora: Collective Scientific Monograph DOI 10.36074/art-sdoud.2020.chapter-9 Nataliia Fedorniak UKRAINIAN MUSICAL FOLKLORE DISCOGRAPHY AS A PRESERVING FACTOR IN UKRAINIAN DIASPORA NATIONAL SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE ABSTRACT: The presented material studies one of the important forms of transmission of the musical folklore tradition of Ukrainians in the United States and Canada during the XX – the beginning of the XXI centuries – sound recording, which is a component of the national spiritual experience of emigrants. Founded in the 1920s, the recording industry has been actively developed and has become a form of preservation and promotion of the traditional musical culture of Ukrainians in North America. Sound recordings created an opportunity to determine the features of its main genres, the evolution of forms, that are typical for each historical period of Ukrainians’ sedimentation on the American continent, as well as to understand the specifics of the repertoire, instruments and styles of performance. Leading record companies in the United States have recorded authentic Ukrainian folklore reconstructed on their territory by rural musicians and choirs. Arranged folklore material is represented by choral and bandura recordings, to which are added a large number of records, cassettes, CDs of vocal-instrumental pop groups and soloists, where significantly and stylistically diversely recorded secondary Ukrainian folklore (folklorism). INTRODUCTION. The social and political situation in Ukraine (starting from the XIX century) caused four emigration waves of Ukrainians and led to the emergence of a new cultural phenomenon – the art and folklore of Ukrainian emigration, i.e. diaspora culture. Having found themselves in difficult ambiguous conditions, where there was no favorable living environment, Ukrainian musical folklore began to lose its original identity and underwent assimilation processes.

  • Romanian Traditional Musical Instruments
    GRU-10-P-LP-57-DJ-TR ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS Romania is a European country whose population consists mainly (approx. 90%) of ethnic Romanians, as well as a variety of minorities such as German, Hungarian and Roma (Gypsy) populations. This has resulted in a multicultural environment which includes active ethnic music scenes. Romania also has thriving scenes in the fields of pop music, hip hop, heavy metal and rock and roll. During the first decade of the 21st century some Europop groups, such as Morandi, Akcent, and Yarabi, achieved success abroad. Traditional Romanian folk music remains popular, and some folk musicians have come to national (and even international) fame. ROMANIAN TRADITIONAL MUSIC Folk music is the oldest form of Romanian musical creation, characterized by great vitality; it is the defining source of the cultured musical creation, both religious and lay. Conservation of Romanian folk music has been aided by a large and enduring audience, and by numerous performers who helped propagate and further develop the folk sound. (One of them, Gheorghe Zamfir, is famous throughout the world today, and helped popularize a traditional Romanian folk instrument, the panpipes.) The earliest music was played on various pipes with rhythmical accompaniment later added by a cobza. This style can be still found in Moldavian Carpathian regions of Vrancea and Bucovina and with the Hungarian Csango minority. The Greek historians have recorded that the Dacians played guitars, and priests perform songs with added guitars. The bagpipe was popular from medieval times, as it was in most European countries, but became rare in recent times before a 20th century revival.
