Artist-Researcher Julian Kytasty in residence at the Fountain School of Performing Arts, Dalhousie University - in collaboration with the Centre for Sound Communities, and Scotia Festival of Music.
This program is based on Kytasty's lifetime of research in the bandura tradition, which at every level is connected to a 400-year struggle against Russian colonialism. Kytasty will present a selection of the most evocative pieces in the bandura's repertoire, and place them in Ukrainian cultural and historical context.
Julian Kytasty and Dr. Marcia Ostashewski, (Founding Director, Centre for Sound Communities, Cape Breton University) have been collaborating in research for more than two decades.
Among their achievements is the album, Songs of Truth (2014).
The album will be available for purchase at the Music Room on March 5th.
