Bandurists spend countless hours in preparation for grand concerts

by Natalia Dmytrijuk

NEW YORK - It is near the end ol the second day of general rehear­ ш sals for the grand bandura concerts in New York and Philadelphia, and some bandurists still have their music spread on grey metal folding chairs. At 5:20 p.m. on Thursday, De­ cember 27, and after over seven hours of rehearsal, Taras Pavlovsky, one of concerts' conductors, barely has their attention. "Stretch out." he says looking fora different sound from the 116 bandu­ rists before him rehearsing"Ulanka." Someone from the last rows of the ensemble yells out that he can't see him. so Mr. Pavlovsky climbs a chipped wooden stool and takes it froni the top. Locks of his damp hair fall in his eyes as he emphasizes the downbeats and upbeats with his whole body. "No good," he yells annoyed. "You have a forte. Attack." he says as if they had gone over those measures too many times for any mistakes. Natalka Pavlovsky, his younger sister and another one of the con­ certs' four conductors, is leaning against the gym wall in the basement - of St. George's Academy on East At St. George's Academy, the site of three days of rehearsals, Taras Pavlovsky runs through a medley of Christmas Sixth Street where the rehearsal is carols.
