"Love
Songs and
Dances from
Cossack
Ukraine"
On
Friday,
September 19,
at 7 p.m., the
Center for
Traditional
Music and
Dance and its
Ukrainian Wave
Community
Cultural
Initiative, in
cooperation
with the
Museum and the
New York
Bandura
Ensemble/Bandura
Downtown, will
present the
concert
"Love
Songs and
Dances from
Cossack
Ukraine."
The event is
the second of
two
performances
held in
conjunction
with the
exhibitions
The
Mapping of
Ukraine:
European
Cartography
and Maps of
Early Modern
Ukraine,
1550-1799,
and The
Cossacks:
Their Art and
Style.
(The first
concert took
place May 9.)
"Love
Songs and
Dances from
Cossack
Ukraine"
will feature
the
instrumental
dance tunes
and
"part"
songs (songs
sung in
several-part
harmony) that
were the
popular music
of the Cossack
Baroque
period. Drawn
from recently
published
seventeenth-century
manuscripts
from Ukraine
and Poland,
the musical
selections
provide an
intimate
glimpse of the
people and
style of an
era that
looked West,
rather than
East, for
cultural
inspiration.
Julian
Kytasty,
musical
director of
the New York
Bandura
Ensemble, will
be joined for
the
performance by
Bandura
Downtown
regulars and a
number of
special
guests.
Tickets for
the event,
including a
reception
immediately
following the
concert, are
$15 ($10 for
members and
seniors, $5
for students).
To reserve
your tickets,
please contact
the Museum at
212.228.0110.
Book and
movie night
Yale
University
historian
Timothy Snyder
will visit the
Museum on
Saturday,
September 27,
to read from
and sign
copies of his
critically
acclaimed book
The Red
Prince.
The book is a
historical
biography of
Wilhelm von
Habsburg
(1895-1949),
also known as
Vasyl
Vyshyvanyi,
who fought
alongside
Ukrainian
peasants
during World
War I in the
hope that he
would become
their king. He
later worked
as a spy
against
Stalin. Many
reviewers have
remarked that
The Red
Prince
reads as
easily as an
intriguing
novel.
The
evening will
include the
New York
premiere of
the 2007
Canadian
documentary
film A
Kingdom
Reborn:
Treasures from
Ukrainian
Galicia
(in English),
a fascinating
look at
Galicia and
its capital,
Lviv, through
rare footage
of the
region's art
and
architecture.
The film
appeals to
varied
audiences,
says its San
Francisco-based
writer, Peter
Bejger,
because
"Galicia
was, and is, a
crossroads of
the East and
West, a
compelling
synthesis of
the Byzantine
and Latin
aesthetic."
The film was
directed and
produced by
Dani Stodilka.
Tickets for
this event,
which begins
at 7 p.m., may
be reserved by
calling the
Museum at
212.228.0110.
They are
priced at $15
($10 for
members and
seniors, $5
for students)
and include a
wine-and-cheese
reception.
