Kurbasy
WORLD MUSIC/UKRAINE
Friday, Oct. 17, 7:30 p.m.
Weis Center Concert Hall
On tour as part of Center Stage
This performance is part of the Weis Center's year-long Trees Series.
Kurbasy channels contemporary connections to an archaic past with its time-bending Songs of the Ukrainian Forest. The folk-based multimedia performances vibrate in tight vocal harmonies, resonant lyrics, distinctive instrumentation and phantasmagoric visual imagery. Songs of the Ukrainian Forest draws on the repertoires of the eastern, central and western regions of Ukraine. The language varies according to the origin of the songs, and the lyrics tell stories of boys and girls, love and joy, but also of war.
