D.C. conference to feature cultural program

WASHINGTON - The Joint Conferences of Ukrainian American Organizations have announced that the very popular a cappella group Pikardiiska Tertsiia from Lviv has agreed to participate in the conferences' extensive cultural program.

Pikardiiska Tertsiia, is a very successful group of seven singers which, although immensely popular in Ukraine, is largely unknown in the United States. The group was invited specifically to take part in the cultural program during the joint brunch scheduled for Sunday, June 27. However, their participation has now been expanded to include a talk by their manager, Roman Klimovsky, on "Contemporary Popular Music in Ukraine" during the Joint Conferences' open program. In addition, the group is slated to provide enticing examples of its repertoire at the Saturday, June 26, gala banquet.

The Joint Conferences' cultural program will include an opening reception at the Ukrainian Embassy during which a collection of works by selected Ukrainian artists will be sponsored by the Ukrainian Institute of America, as well as an art fair by the new Ukrainian Art Organization and a photographic journey through Ukraine by photographer Tania D'Avignon; both are to take place at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City, the Joint Conferences' headquarters hotel. Off-site cultural activities include the specially prepared Ukrainian art exhibit at the Alla Rogers Art Gallery in Georgetown.
