Experience the magic, warmth, and spirit of a Ukrainian Christmas through the unforgettably beautiful sound of Bandura — Ukraine’s national instrument and a symbol of centuries-old resilience, hope, and cultural pride.
More than just an instrument, Bandura tells the story of a nation. This unique 65-string instrument carries echoes of Ukraine’s rich past — from the wandering Kobzars, blind minstrels, to today’s bandura artists who continue to unite audiences around the world.
In our Christmas with Bandura benefit concert you will be transported to a Ukrainian music wonderland filled with traditional Christmas carols (kolyadky and shchedrivky), festive arrangements, and soul-stirring melodies. This is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of heritage, community, and the enduring power of Ukrainian bandura music.
Together, we will perform traditional and contemporary Ukrainian carols, blending intricate harmonies, lush instrumentals, and heartfelt storytelling in a performance that will leave audiences inspired.
This benefit concert is part of the U.S. holiday tour organized by BandurArts, U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting Ukrainian bandura music and culture through education, performance, and artistic collaboration.
We are proud to partner with Ukrainians in Orange County (UAOU), a U.S.-based and local Orange County, CA nonprofit to bring the community together during this magical Christmas and holiday season!
