Ukrainian ensembles perform during Oktoberfest in Munich

For the second year in a row, Bohdan Petriv of Buffalo, N.Y., has filed a colorful photographic report about Oktoberfest celebrations in Munich, Germany. In the photos on this page are artists from two Ukrainian performing ensembles from Kyiv: the Kobza Ensemble, directed by Yevhen Kovalenko, and the Kalyna Ensemble, directed by Valentyn Kozachenko - both holders of the title of National Artist of Ukraine. Kobza, founded in 1971, and Kalyna, established in 1981, spent four days in Munich and performed five shows during the annual Oktoberfest. Fifty performers in all arrived from Kyiv for the festivities. Seen here are vignettes from their appearance at Marienplatz.
