DETROIT - Kobzarska Sich announces a vocal workshop, for all vocal enthusiasts age 13 and older, that will run concurrently with its second week of bandura camp. The vocal workshop will begin Sunday, August 12, at All Saints Ukrainian Orthodox Church Camp Grounds in Emlenton, Pa., and will run through Sunday, August 19, culminating in a grand finale concert with the bandura camp.

This intensive and enjoyable seminar on the banks of the beautiful Allegheny River focuses on the singing and performance of Ukrainian music. Participants will take part in a program that consists of vocal training, exposure to Ukrainian folk and religious music, male and female ensembles, private voice lessons, listening lectures and ensemble singing. There is time also for a number of recreational activities. Instruction is in both English and Ukrainian.

Kobzarska Sich has invited Maryana Sadovska, currently a resident artist with the Yara Arts Group at the La Mama Experimental Theatre in New York City, as guest instructor.

Ms. Sadovska was born and raised in Lviv and has many years of experience in Ukrainian folk music. While in New York, Ms. Sadovska has conducted a number of vocal workshops.

Julian Kytasty, artistic director of Kobzarska Sich, will also be instructing at workshop.

The Vocal Workshop is sponsored by Kobzarska Sich and the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus. For more information about the workshop, please call or e-mail Anatoli W. Murha at (734) 953-0305, or [email protected].
