2 weeks agoSeason's Greetings: A Ukrainian Winterfest and an Arts & Agriculture Holiday Market * Oregon ArtsWatch
One of the festival's main attractions is Inna Kovtun, a singer and leading authority on traditional Ukrainian folk music who has dived deeply into the nation's long cultural traditions and collected more than 1,000 traditional songs, some of which she'll perform at the festival. A prominent folkloric musician in Ukraine, she and her daughter came to the United States shortly after the start of the war, where she performs, teaches, and organizes events and master classes on Ukrainian arts and culture.
