with Svitlana Vedmid, Yuliya Kulinenko, Khrystia Kramer
Shown on the occasion of President Zelensky's from Ukraine visit to The Hague, City of Peace and Law...... and Justice.
An evening of resilience, Ukrainian music culture, and solidarity with Dyvyna folk group. We will carry our pain through the saddest Ukrainian songs of different times about war, hardships and loneliness to songs about the power of women, will to live and love, which always win.
Dyvyna folk group was founded at Donetsk National University in 1998.
The ensemble's repertoire includes Ukrainian folk songs of various genres, most of which were recorded in ethnographic expeditions in Ukraine or in the Ukrainian diaspora (Black Sea villages of Kuban, Ukrainian villages of Western Siberia, Altai Krai).
Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine members of the ensemble had to flee twice - in 2014 from Donetsk and in February 2022 from the Kyiv region. They ended up in Germany and continue to sing.
All the proceeds of the concert went directly to the Dyvyna Ensemble as a donation in order to help the artists financially during this difficult time.
