Kurbasy: Songs of the Ukrainian Forest

  • Presenting Series
Sun, 10/05/2025 - 4:00pm
Baker Hall
$25 | Free for LU Students

Kurbasy is an avant-garde musical project of the renowned progressive Les Kurbas Theatre in Lviv, Ukraine. Founded in 2008 as an informal vocal gathering of singer-actresses, the group has performed across Europe - from the front lines of occupied Eastern Ukraine to concert halls in Western Europe and the USA. The ambient approach of Kurbasy gives life to the indigenous polyphonic sounds of Ukraine's rich traditional music heritage. Their sonic-theatrical explorations of Ukraine's rich trove of calendar songs, lullabies, and legends, conjure the natural world, beliefs, and rituals, channeling contemporary connections to an archaic past. Click HERE for artist's website. LU Students attend for FREE, click for more info.
