Great Britain's... (Continued from page 1) The program of 17 pieces was ргет|| sented by Richard Baker, a well-known broadcaster and author best known as a BBC newsreader. Ukrairiian composers of the 17th to the 20th centuries were represented in the repertoire which included pieces by Dyletsky, Berezov­ sky, Vedel, Bortniansky, Verbytsky, Stetsenko, Antonovych, Kozytzky and Lysenko. The second part of the program included an adaptation of Ukrainian "hahilky" and "vesnianky" (spring dances and songs), performed by dancers from Ukrainian dance en­ sembles of Manchester, Derby and Coventry. The performers were dressed in four different costumes from diffe­ rent regions in Ukraine. They presented intricately choreographed hahilky to songs performed by the female section of the choir. Britain's renowned concert hall, the pride of the empire, was filled to capacity. The 6,000 seats had been sold out weeks before the concert. Guests included members of the foreign diplo­ matic community posted in London, high-ranking members of the Church of England and other dignitaries. The program was coordinated by Volo­ dymyr Luciw and the performance recorded by the BBC. The committee's projects also include the publication of "A Millennium of Christian Culture in Ukraine," a collec­ tion of essays edited by Andrew Soro- kowski. Jaroslaw Hawrych, chairman of the Millennium Committee, told The U- krainian Weekly that the VOA and Radio Liberty are to broadcast infor­ mation about the Millennium celebra­ Ukrainian community members gather for the unveilmg of the St. Volodymyr monument. tions in Great Britain. Commenting on the day's events, he said that the monument and book had been planned as a "permanent reminder of the Ukrainian past." Asked about the awesome amount of organization and coordination required for the day's three major events, he modestly deferred to other members of the committee and numerous helpers. He attributed the great success of the concert and the day's events to "honest good-will and the right approach" adopted from the beginning of the venture. "We are the voice of the people in Ukraine. The celebrations have given us the opportunity not only to set the historical record straight on the Millen­ nium's significance for the history of the Ukrainian people, but also to move towards greater unity in the diaspora," Hierarchs and clergy at the unveiling, including Metropolitan Mstyslav and Cardinal Myroslav Lubachivsky. he said.
