Bandurists and Choirs from Bradford and Keighley
Bandura performances in Bradford highlight another dimension of Ukrainians love of music performance.
Music and performing arts are a thread running through Bradford Ukrainian community's cultural life. The arrival from Scotland of the conductor Jaroslaw Havyliuk saw the formation of the Dibrova choir and a junior string orchestra (initially mandolins, with guitars added later).
The tradition of playing stringed instruments was revived by Vera Tymchyshyn, a classically trained musician and conductor. After graduating from music college in Ukraine, Vera sang and played in a bandura ensemble professionally before moving to the UK in 1991. She established the bandura Capella in the early 1990s and it ran for around ten years. Vera continues to be very active in the Ukrainian community and works as a teacher and a qualified interpreter.

Performing Arts: Music
Celebrating the joy and expression of music beyond the mainstream
In this latest addition to the performing arts series, we are taking a look at all things music beyond the mainstream; from choir rehearsals and pirate radio coverage, to buskers, festivals and workshops, it's clear that music has remained integral not only to culture and the evolution of arts, but to each of us in our day to day!
Many established music artists have been at the helm of sonic exploration, redefining genres and challenging the familiar ways in which sound can be experienced. But shifting the perspective away from multi-platinum pop stars and established performers, this collection is a celebration of the hobbyists, the amateur & the unrefined love of an art form that builds communities and allows for complete self expression
