KYIV – Perhaps the highlight of the Detroit-based Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus’s (UBC) centennial tour of Ukraine was the joint concert with the local National Bandurist Capella on October 22.
About 120 artists took to the stage that evening, showcasing Ukraine’s national musical instrument, which combines characteristics of the lute and harp, producing “a sound similar to a harpsichord but with a wider range and tone,” according to the UBC website.
