Vesnivka Choir, established in 1965 by founding artistic director Halyna Kvitka Kondracki, has delighted audiences around the world with its rich repertoire of Ukrainian liturgical, classical, contemporary and traditional folk music. Vesnivka, together with its partner, the Toronto Ukrainian Male Chamber Choir (TUMCC) (also founded by Kondracki and singing under the umbrella of Vesnivka Choir), are often accompanied by professional soloists and chamber ensembles of area musicians. Under the leadership of co-conductors, Kondracki and Nazar Lozynskyy, the 2025/26 season will include its annual Ukrainian Christmas concert on January 11, 2026, a celebration of Vesnivka’s 60th anniversary with a concert on March 29, 2026, and “Chernobyl 40”, a joint concert with Canadian Bandurist Capella commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Chernobyl Disaster, to be held April 26, 2026. Vesnivka also sings at Christmas and Easter Liturgies. New singers for both choirs are welcome throughout the year. If interested, please contact us via the website.
