Vesnivka Choir

Read Profile

Award-winning Vesnivka Choir was established in 1965 by founding artistic director Halyna Kvitka Kondracki. The choir has delighted audiences with its rich repertoire of Ukrainian classical, contemporary, sacred and traditional folk music. Vesnivka, together with its partner the Toronto Ukrainian Male Chamber Choir (also founded by Ms. Kondracki), are often joined in concert by area musicians and soloists. We are excited to announce that Nazar Lozynskyy will be assuming a broader role as co-conductor of the choirs in the upcoming 2024/25 season. Our concert season will consist of three major concerts, the first being “Prayer for Ukraine”, a concert of sacred music by classical and contemporary Ukrainian composers, to be held on November 3, 2024. Joining the choirs will be guest ensemble St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church Choir from Toronto. On January 12, 2025, we will celebrate the new year with our annual Christmas concert, featuring traditional and contemporary Ukrainian Christmas carols and New Year’s songs. Our final concert of the season will be held on May 4, 2025. “Songs of Love” will feature a program of Ukrainian music depicting themes of romance, unrequited love as well as familial love.
