Artown Cultural Connections: Yagody
July 15 @ 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Experience the powerful sound of a dynamic Ukrainian ensemble bringing folk traditions to life with bold energy and modern flair. Formed in Lviv in 2016, the group was born from a deep commitment to preserving and reimagining Ukrainian folk music through rich vocal harmonies, theatrical expression, and innovative arrangements. Led by vocalist and creative force Zoriana Dybovska, the ensemble grew out of a journey shaped by resilience and cultural dedication. After being displaced from eastern Ukraine, Zoriana continued her mission to revive traditional songs—transforming them into vibrant, contemporary performances. What began as an artistic exploration with her students evolved into a full-scale band known for its captivating stage presence and emotional depth. Blending voices, accordion, bass, drums, and traditional percussion, the group creates a sound that is both rooted in heritage and alive with modern intensity. Their performances move seamlessly between hauntingly beautiful melodies and high-energy rhythms, offering audiences a truly immersive experience. Since releasing their debut album in 2020, they have continued to expand their repertoire with original music and striking visual work, while actively touring across Europe and sharing their culture through live performances and charity concerts. Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of music, identity, and artistic expression—where tradition meets innovation in a performance full of passion, power, and spirit.
