Songs of Freedom: Music for Ukraine

Choral Arts Northwest Timothy Westerhaus, Artistic Director Songs of Freedom: Music from Ukraine Benefit Concert for Ukrainian Refugee Services at Rescue.org Featuring Valentyn Lysenko, Ukrainian Bandura Saturday, November 5th, 2022, 7:30 p.m Plymouth Church, 1217 6th Ave, Seattle, WA 98101 LIVE & LIVESTREAM Choral Arts Northwest presents Songs of Freedom featuring music by Ukrainian composers, spanning over 300 years from the Ukrainian Renaissance to folk music of today. Ukrainians have long used song as a means of survival and empowerment, and this program of transcendent and folkloric music connects us with the beauty of Ukrainian land, spirit, and people. The first half of the program (“Songs of Spirit, Songs of Life”) includes sublime motets by Renaissance composer Mykola Dyletsky, a joyful choral concerto by Classical era Dmitry Bortniansky, and living composer Lesia Dychko’s thrilling Slava. In the second half of the program (“Land of Freedom, Land of Beauty”) choral songs meet Ukrainian folk traditions, with music played by Valentyn Lysenko, a Seattle-based performer of the bandura, the quintessential Ukrainian folk instrument. From the iconic Oi u luzi chervona kalyna—Ukraine’s patriotic song made famous from remixes of rock musician Andriy Khlyvnyuk’s Instagram post—to a tongue twister folk song, the beauty of Ukraine’s land and people come alive through music both transcendent and earthy. 50% of all concert proceeds will be donated to the Washington State chapter of Rescue.org, an international association that provides broad support for refugee relief in Washington State and beyond. Once concert costs are met, 100% of any additional funds raised will go toward Rescue.org. Make a donation here - https://www.choralartsnw.org/ by clicking DONATE/SUPPORT in the navigation bar.
