Elgin Symphony Orchestra Presents The Chicago Bandura Ensemble in a concert honoring Ukraine

Description

On Sunday, February 23, 2025, nearly three years to the day that Ukraine was invaded by Russia, the Elgin Symphony Orchestra will present The Chicago Bandura Ensemble in a concert honoring the resilience and culture of the Ukrainian people. The all-female Chicago Bandura Ensemble will share their talents in a concert that honors the resilience of the Ukrainian people through the power of music in a versatile modern and traditional repertoire for bandura and voice.

“Melodies of Resilience” will be held at 3 p.m. at Journey of Hope United Methodist Church, 37W040 W Highland Avenue in Elgin, IL.

With a centuries-old and storied history, the bandura is the instrument that most deeply resonates with the voice and soul of Ukraine. A traditional Ukrainian stringed instrument, it gracefully blends elements of the zither and the lute. The bandura’s development closely reflects the history of the Ukrainian nation and is considered to be the national instrument of Ukraine.
