The voice of Freedom - The Concert to Independence Day of Ukraine

A major cultural and artistic project for Ukraine's Independence Day

“The Voice of Freedom” is a musical event that takes you to the very heart of Ukraine's song heritage: from Ivasyuk, Mozgovoy, Poklad, Hnatyuk, and other legendary figures to the contemporary voices of the new Ukraine.

This is not just a concert — it is a living cultural and educational project that reveals the depth and beauty of Ukrainian music to Ukrainians in the US and American guests through modern arrangements, a live band, a string quartet, and soulful voices.

For the first time in the US:

Songs that have become symbols of defiance will be performed in a unique way and complemented by exclusive first-hand stories from Oleg Shaka, Honored Artist of Ukraine and former member of the legendary Smerichka ensemble, where he played alongside Nazar Yaremchuk. His participation is a bridge between eras, a cultural memory that comes to life on stage.
