Event on ZOOM
Presented by Ukrainian Village Voices (New York City)

Ukrainian Village Voices is delighted to present a virtual children’s workshop with folk artist and educator Olya Fryz. Olya will teach songs from her very popular Ukrainian children’s album “Shcho za Hamir” (What a Noise). Get ready for a fun, family-friendly sing along with bandura (58-stringed folk instrument) accompaniment!

Growing up in New York City and performing for many years in the tri-state area, Olya is excited to lead this workshop and to share her love of Ukrainian music with diverse audiences.

Have your families join us for a lovely song-filled afternoon! We especially welcome little ones and all who are young at heart.
