Music and song, poetry and folktales of Ukraine

A celebration of Ukrainian arts - traditional music and song, poetry from Taras Shevchenko and Lesya Ukrainka, folk tales from the Carpathian Mountains and secrets of the intricately embroidered вишива́нка or vyshyvanka shirt, and the power of Motankas, (Мотанка).

‘As the sun sets and hills grow dark,

as the birdsong ends and fields fall silent,

as the people laugh and take their rest, I watch.

My heart hurries

to the twilight gardens of Ukraine.’

Taras Shevchenko
