About American Melodies on Ukrainian Strings
The melodies you love. The sound you’ve never heard.
Venue: The DiMenna Center for Classical Music, NYC
Mary Flagler Cary Hall
American Melodies on Ukrainian Strings is a one-of-a-kind concert experience bringing American music to life on Ukraine’s national instrument — the BANDURA, a spectacular instrument with more than 60 strings.
Spanning more than a century, the concert program travels through America’s musical history - from folk songs and spirituals to jazz, film, rock, and contemporary music - interpreted through the distinctive voice of Ukrainian strings.
At the heart of the concert are timeless melodies such as “Amazing Grace,” “Shenandoah,” “Go Down, Moses,” and “House of the Rising Sun” and many more songs that have crossed generations and become part of America’s musical heritage.
The musical journey also takes an unexpected turn into rock and contemporary repertoire, showcasing the remarkable versatility of the bandura. Experience for yourself how centuries of Ukrainian musical tradition meet familiar American melodies, bringing an entirely new dimension to music you already know and love.
Our Bandura Performers:
Solomia Stahiv
Taisa Kulyk
Alina Chemerys
Yana Matsevych
Whether you are discovering the bandura for the first time or already know its unique sound, American Melodies on Ukrainian Strings brings two musical traditions together in a fresh and unexpected way.
One extraordinary concert. A century of American music. A sound of your favorite melodies you've never heard before — on the Ukrainian bandura.
