The Center for Traditional Music and Dance and its Ukrainian Wave Community Cultural Initiative in collaboration with The Ukrainian Museum and New York Bandura Ensemble/Bandura Downtown present Border Ballads from the Steppes: with Julian Kytasty and Friday, May 9, 2008 –7:00 PM The evening's program features traditional Ukrainian ballads researched and performed by third-generation Ukrainian-American bandura virtuoso and singer Julian Kytasty, accompanied by the musicians of the New York Bandura Ensemble. The Ukrainian bandura is a harp-like lute with an unfretted neck and thirty or more strings. Drawn from the same historical period as the Museum's "Mapping of Ukraine" exhibition, the songs and instrumental music bring to life the dance of shifting borders - political, cultural, and personal - that characterizes Ukraine's early modern period. The Mapping of Ukraine: European Cartography and Maps of Early Modern Ukraine, 1550-1799 is a major exhibition of antiquarian maps opening at the Museum on April 20th and remaining on view until October 5. Curated by University of Saskatchewan International Relations scholar Bohdan Kordan, the exhibition features 42 original maps published by European mapmakers over a 250-year period. Tickets $15 with discounts available for Museum and CTMD members and seniors. |

CTMD is pleased to announce the reissue of our historic 1978 recording, Dave Tarras: Music for the Traditional Jewish Wedding. In this landmark recording legendary klezmer clarinetist Dave Tarras (1897-1989) returns to the repertoire he had learned as a young man in Europe. Joined by his colleagues of many years – Sam Beckerman on accordion and Irving Graetz on drums – Tarras performs the kind of music that was played at Jewish weddings from his native region in the old Ukrainian province of Podolia.
