Kobzar Julian Kytasty in concert 11/14
Dear friends,
Writing to let you know about a major solo performance Julian Kytasty has
coming up next week Friday. This is one a number of people have requested
over the last couple of seasons, a full concert of Julain alone, the
old-time bandura, and the songs of the kobzari in the bandura-friendly
acoustic space of the Ukrainian Museum’s beautiful central gallery. We are
planning to try out some multi-media presentation ideas as well, with
projections and possibly supertitles. Hope you can join us for this one, and
please pass the word to potentially interested people in the metro NY area.
For those who are unfamilar with Julian's work:

The Bandura Downtown series presents a tribute to Ukraine’s blind epic
singers, the kobzari. Join third-generation bandurist Julian Kytasty for a
program encompassing the full spectrum of the kobzar repertoire: ancient
epics and laments, humorous burlesques, religious and moralistic songs,
sparkling dance tunes, and songs of social commentary.
