2017 FESTIVAL SCHEDULE 952 Green Valley Crescent, Ottawa | 1000 Byron Avenue, Ottawa Capitalukrainianfestival.Com

July 2017

Dear Friends:

We at Ukrainian Credit Union Limited cannot think of a more fitting and exciting way to ring in Canada’s 150th anniversary in our Nation’s Capital than through our lead spon- sorship of the Capital Ukrainian Festival!

On behalf of our 25,000 members across Ontario, congratulations to the festival’s inspired or- ganizing committee and all of its hard working volunteers for assembling another wonderful showcase of Ukrainian culture, music, arts, and cuisine that have now been invigorating Cana- da’s multicultural fabric for over 125 years!

Ukrainian Credit Union Limited provides a full range of financial services to Ukrainian Canadi- ans and those who share our co-operative values. We do so via on-line and mobile channels, and through sixteen service locations including our Bank and Somerset location here in Ottawa. However, one of the most important things we do is build community and we are very proud to be part of yours!

We invite one and all to enjoy the great singers, dancers, artists, and food on hand this weekend. Also, please be sure to visit the Ukrainian Credit Union Limited booth and take advantage of the convenience of our ATM.

Have a great Festival

Chief Executive Officer Ukrainian Credit Union Limited

Get ready to celebrate Canada 150 at the Capital Ukrainian Fes- tival! The 3-day event will entertain visitors of all ages and interests -- from enjoying a wide selection of Ukrainian cuisine to being entertained by spectacular performances. And it doesn’t end there. Choirs will be performing Ukrainian and sacred music in the Church. The ever-popular workshops and demonstrations on embroidery, weaving and egg painting (pysanky), ritu- al breads, and icon painting will again be returning by popular photo credit: Nina Matinjanin Photography demand. And let’s not forget about the children who will have the opportunity to learn about the Ukrainian culture by creating their own souvenir at our Children’s Activity Centre. Still not enough? How about enjoying our after-hours party, “Korchma”.

The Capital Ukrainian Festival is especially excited to be part of the many events celebrating Cana- da’s 150th anniversary. There couldn’t be a better time to reflect on the contributions, history and culture of Ukrainian Canadians as well as ponder on what the future could hold. Ukrainian cultural expression has, however, been allowed to flourish and grow for the past century in an environment that welcomes and celebrates differences. We believe that the Capital Ukrainian Festival, in the spirit of promoting this “belonging”, is the perfect venue to foster greater community, dialogue and legacy-building among all Canadians. For this reason, we have again invited other communities to participate in the Festival. Given the success of their inclusion in last year’s Festival, we are proud that they have chosen our Festival to showcase their culture.

This is only our 3rd year in existence. Yet the spectacular response from visitors indicates that there is a hunger to know more about Ukrainian Canadians as well as other ethnic communities. As you can imagine, putting on such an extensive Festival requires an army of volunteers. Without these selfless individuals, who give hundreds of hours of free labour, this event could not have taken place. I am grateful to my “festival family” for their conviction, skills, knowledge, patience, perseverance and kindness. You are inspiration to all Canadians.

Thank you, Дякую, Merci to all who continue to make the Capital Ukrainian Festival a resounding success.

Dear Friends!

Greetings to the Capital Ukrainian Festival

On behalf of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, which represents the interests and brings together under one umbrella Canada’s 1.3 million strong Ukrainian Canadian community, I would like to congratulate and thank the organizers of the Annual Capital Ukrainian Festival.

This year, as we honour the 150th anniversary of Confederation, we celebrate the wonderful diversity of our great country. It is only fitting that the Ukrainian community in Ottawa, our Nation’s Capital, host this important showcase of Ukrainian culture, traditions, music, arts and food.

As we celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday, our Ukrainian Canadian community can be very proud of the contributions we have made to the essential fabric of Canadian life.

As every year, the Capital Ukrainian Festival features a truly impressive collection of performers, artists, artisans and vendors from across Canada and from Ukraine. Please enjoy the singers, dancers, artists, cuisine and be sure to enjoy the world famous Ukrainian Canadian hospitality!

Yours very truly, UKRAINIAN CANADIAN CONGRESS

Dear friends,

I am so proud to have this opportunity to send greetings to all of you attending the Capital Ukrainian Festival.

Ukrainian culture is so rich and diverse and we are a stronger city and community for having learned from our Ukrainian neighbours and friends.

This festival truly offers something for everyone in attendance. From dance and music to delicious food! You don’t have to be Ukrainian to truly enjoy everything this festival has to offer - especially the Perogies!

I am also proud of the Ontario government for supporting integral cultural festivals in Ottawa such as the Capital Ukrainian Festival. Congratulations to the organizers for being awarded an Ontario Celebrates Grant from the Ontario government.

I am a true believer that our differences only make us a stronger community and today, we can celebrate that diversity!

Congratulations to all the organizers, staff and volunteers who are working tirelessly to make Capital Ukrainian Festival an absolute hit! Looking forward to many more years of celebrations.

ТУТ І ТАМ

ТУТ І ТАМ has been captivating audiences since 2003 with their unique and progressive style of Ukrainian turbo-folk music. Traditional Ukrainian folk songs and melodies, combined with progressive and contemporary sounds, create ТУТ І ТАМ’S signature sound. Stacked with four-part harmonies and electric instrumental work, their creative arrangements and sincere musicality transcend the studio and contribute to their dynamic live shows. ТУТ І ТАМ has performed at major Ukrainian festivals across Canada and internationally, with their latest tour being a two-week tour of Ukraine.

DAKHABRAKHA DAKHABRAKHA is a music quartet from Kiev, Ukraine. Reflecting fundamental elements of sound and soul, the Quartet creates a world of unexpected new music. Created in 2004, DAKHABRAKHA, which means “give/take”, uses strong visual elements to highlight its bright, unique and unforgettable sounds. Using Indian, Arabic, African, Russian and Australian traditional instrumentation, the Quartet’s astonishingly powerful and uncompromising vocal range creates an international sound (while still rooted in the Ukrainian culture.) The Quartet has played more than 300 concerts at major international festivals throughout Eastern and Western Europe, Russia, Asia, Australia, and North America.

VASYL POPADIUK

VASYL POPADIUK is a classically trained violinist born in Lviv, Ukraine, now living in Ottawa and performing internationally. In addition to appearing as a violin soloist, Popadiuk has been the dynamic lead player in the ensemble PAPA DUKE, a group that plays a fusion of Eastern European melodies in an energetic style mixing classic pop, rock, jazz and traditional Slavic and gypsy music. Aside from stage performances at numerous events, he complements his violin playing with piano accompaniment for the National Ballet of Canada. Popadiuk is quickly winning over audiences with his intense virtuoso performances. Over the years he and his fellow musicians have performed in concerts and at music festivals in many countries, including USA, Canada, Italy, France, Germany, Jordan, Russia, Poland, Mexico and Ukraine. PERFORMERS

THE KUBASONICS THE KUBASONICS, Newfoundland’s finest Ukrainian band, combine expert musicianship, quirky humour, a dizzying array of exotic traditional instruments, and an eclectic high-energy stage show that appeals to all tastes. With 5 CDs under their belt, they’ve taken Ukrainian music to places that it’s never been before. With performances across Canada, Ukraine and the Caribbean, and even on Hockey Night in Canada, the Capital Ukrainian Festival marks the first leg of the band’s four-country tour of Eastern Europe.

ZIRKA

The Toronto based band ZIRKA is excited to be at this year’s Capital Ukrainian Festival. With deep Canadian Ukrainian roots and a passion for traditional Ukrainian music, the band continually strives to create a distinctive lively zabava sound that pleases listeners of all ages. ZIRKA is comprised of musicians who love to play their instruments and sing and they do it for the right reason: to entertain, to create a party atmosphere and to have fun.

UKRAINIA

Leaping out of the urban landscape with the ferocity of a group of inebriated dancers, UKRAINIA is a band with the hearts of giants. Their traditionally-based Ukrainian music has been pumped up and electrified. These five men make a big sound with guitar, bass, drums, keys…and no banduras. Their music will light your spirit, lift your body and transport you to another time in a surreal place – have your passports stamped, you are entering “Ukrainia”. PERFORMERS

KORINYA

KORINYA is a young band from the Ukraine that has been performing in the U.S. and Canada since 2005. The band presents Ukrainian folk music in a fresh, grassroots way. Listening to their music evokes the voices of the steppes, the cheerful melody of the sopilka, and the strong, soulful sound of the fiddle - sounds that are so representative of their Ukrainian roots. They are proud to have won 1st place at the Boyko Festival (Ukraine) in 2012.

MELOS FOLK ENSEMBLE

MELOS FOLK ENSEMBLE brings together some of Winnipeg’s finest singers, dancers, and musicians. Founded in 2006, its vision has been to explore all areas of artistic creativity: music, song, and dance. It is this kind of mindset and philosophy that has allowed MELOS to evolve into the ensemble that it is today. Unique and refreshing, MELOS integrates the artistry of music, song, and dance to interpret and perform a wide range of works including traditional and contemporary Ukrainian and other folk music as part of the Canadian multicultural experience.

SVITANOK UKRAINIAN DANCE SOCIETY

The SVITANOK UKRAINIAN DANCE SOCIETY is Ottawa’s only Ukrainian Dance community. Comprised of The Svitanok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble (SVITANOK), and The Ottawa School of Ukrainian Dance (OSUD), the SVITANOK provides opportunities for professional training in the performance arts that promotes the renewal of Ukrainian character dance as a viable and developing art form on the Canadian dance scene. Since 2003, SVITANOK has performed in more than 100 numerous and diverse venues. The Ottawa School of Dance, founded in 1979, instructs students of all levels and ages (including adults), on the Ukrainian dance art form, culminating in an annual showcase unique and original in choreography. PERFORMERS

TRIO LIRA

TRIO LIRA was founded in 2013 to interpret not only traditional and modern Ukrainian music but includes performing English songs and religious pieces as well. TRIO LIRA has performed at many public and private venues including the Toronto Ukrainian Festival, Mississauga and Oakville Festivals, Yarmaroks, and the 2017 Humanitarian Award Gala. TRIO LIRA recently released a CD at the Toronto Ukrainian Festival in 2016.

PEREGRINATIONS

PEREGRINATIONS is an ensemble or parishioners and friends of St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Shrine, Ottawa. Their repertoire includes traditional Ukrainian tunes, Celtic ballads, jigs, reels, Canadian and American folk songs. “Galicia”, a common name for the western region of Ukraine, derives from the same root word as “Celt” since the Celtic peoples once dwelt there in the course of their “peregrinations”, i.e., wanderings towards the British Isles. Their music is also “wandering” through different cultures, times and places - from Kyiv to Kilkenny - one might say, in search of whatever stirs their souls.

CHABAN UKRAINIAN DANCE GROUP

For 37 years, CHABAN UKRAINIAN DANCE GROUP of Thunder Bay, Ontario has entertained audiences throughout Canada, the United States, Spain, and Ukraine. CHABAN showcases its extensive repertoire of traditional and stylized Ukrainian dance from many regions of Ukraine and is a leader in the development of Ukrainian dance, costuming and the preservation of Ukrainian heritage. Recent dance tours include: 2013 Ukraine; 2014 Yonkers Ukrainian Heritage Festival, New York; 2016 Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival, and the Toronto Ukrainian Festival. CHABAN’s competition entries have won awards and trophies for dance, choreography and costuming at the Manitoba Ukrainian Dance Festival in Winnipeg, Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival, and at the Lakehead Music Festival of the Arts. PERFORMERS

CHAIKA PERFORMING ENSEMBLE

In its 60nd year, the CHAIKA PERFORMING ENSEMBLE is dedicated to helping preserve Canada’s multicultural mosaic. It has thrilled audiences worldwide and won recognition and praise with its memorable performances throughout Canada, the United States and Europe. Created in 1957 under the auspices of the Hamilton Branch of the Ukrainian National Federation, the ENSEMBLE has been dedicated to the development of Ukrainian folk song and dance. The school is comprised of 50 performers, ranging in age from 4 to 30.

ODESSA UKRAINIAN DANCERS

The ODESSA UKRAINIAN DANCERS, comprised of a group of energetic high-school students, has flourished for more than three generations at St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Oshawa, Ontario. Their repertoire includes dances from the Central, Hutzul, Transcarpathian, Bukovinian and Polissian regions. ODESSA strives to retain the beauty and true spirit of Ukrainian dance by focusing on traditional choreography with authentic costuming. ODESSA has performed at Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival in Dauphin Manitoba, Ukrainian Independence Day celebrations, Canada Day celebrations, Fiesta, Kingston Ukrainian Festival, and for the Ukrainian Ambassador to Canada.

AKORD - UKRAINIAN MEN’S CHOIR OF OTTAWA

AKORD, a four-part male choir, originated in 1993 in Ottawa with six men who shared an interest in Ukrainian liturgical music. Since 1994 AKORD has broadened its repertoire to include more intricate liturgical choral music, Ukrainian folk songs and Christmas carols. AKORD has been invited to perform at many festivals and concerts in the Ottawa-Outaouais region as well as at Festivals in Toronto and Montreal. AKORD has also been invited to perform at the Prime Minister’s residence, on Parliament Hill and at Rideau Hall (when Ukraine’s President Yushchenko visited Canada). These activities have increased awareness of Ukrainian choral masters and raised the profile of Ukrainian music throughout the region. PERFORMERS

VESELKA

Over 40 members strong, ages 19 to 65, VESELKA has performed at numerous venues ranging from weddings and celebrations to festivals and special events throughout North America. The group has been highly ranked at such competitions as the Vegreville Pysanka Festival and Edmonton’s Cheremosh Dance Festival. Some of VESELKA’s highlights include performances in Dauphin, Ottawa, Montreal, Vegreville Pysanka Festival, Klondike Days, Heritage Days in Saskatoon and the opening ceremonies of the World Track and Field Championships in Edmonton.

POKROVA CHILDREN’S UKRAINIAN ARTS CAMP

The Pokrova Ukrainian Arts Network links people who create and enjoy Ukrainian arts and culture. It does this by designing and hosting an annual interdisciplinary POKROVA CHILDREN’S UKRAINIAN ARTS CAMP, by holding Master Classes and Workshops showcasing innovative visual and performing artists, and by creating original exhibitions and events that help to connect artists of all disciplines.
