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!

Every dream must come true!
Trying to figure out who is now in charge of winter holidays in Ukraine, three legendary magical figures-Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus, and the ancient Winter Spirit-argue and compete to fulfill little Vira's wish. But Vira wants Christmas to stop existing ever. The holiday, with all its traditions, disappears from the city and people's memories. Instead of carols and Christmas cheer, sadness takes over the city. The magic-makers transform into ordinary people and unite to save the world from the impending Armageddon caused by the disappearance of Christmas and to restore the girl's faith in miracles and hope for a bright future.
The film is in Ukrainian with English subtitles.
