Songs for Ukraine Chorus is delighted to present this special Christmas concert on 11th December at 7:30 p.m., celebrating over a thousand years of Ukrainian Christmas choral music. The program features a rich tapestry of carols, beginning with ancient pre-Christian ritual songs that herald the new year, the 18th-century literary carols as well as modern Ukrainian carols from the late 20th century. The Songs for Ukraine Chorus was founded in the spring of 2023 by the Royal Ballet and Opera in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Comprising over 150 Ukrainians, many of whom have been displaced by the war, the Chorus celebrates Ukrainian culture, resilience, and artistic spirit. With members ranging from professional singers to newcomers to classical music, the Chorus proudly donates their time and talent in support of Ukraine’s people, cultural heritage, and artistic development. Songs for Ukraine Chorus continues its mission, introducing UK audiences to the beauty of Ukrainian musical traditions while showcasing the resilience and vibrancy of Ukrainian culture. Songs for Ukraine Chorus proudly supports Hospitallers Ukraine Aid during the concert in their selfless mission of saving the lives of the Ukrainians at the frontline.
We invite you to enjoy these timeless carols, infused with hope, joy, and the enduring spirit of the Ukrainian people.
Please, don't stay aside and continue to support!
