Read Profile

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 and 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 artistic director/conductor Kondracki and conductor Nazar Lozynskyy, the 2026-27 season will include its annual “Ukrainian Christmas” concert on January 10, 2027, and a spring concert on April 18, 2027, featuring music written to the words of Ukraine’s beloved poetess Lesia Ukrainka. Vesnivka sings at Christmas and Easter Liturgies. New singers for both choirs are welcome throughout the year. Transliterated scores are available for singers who do not read Ukrainian.
