Taras Shevchenko
Famous Ukrainian Poet
Taras Shevchenko is the most famous Ukrainian Artist and Poet who is honored more than any other figure in Ukraine. He gave his life for Ukraine after many years in prison for his love and expression of everything Ukrainian.
During the times of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian culture, language, religion and many customs were forbidden. Ukrainian communities around the world hold yearly events to commemorate Ukrainian Poet's legacies.

Ukrainian Independence Day
Ukrainians are very passionate about their traditions, finding every opportunity to share with others all the beautiful customs that bring our community together while never forgetting the past struggles our country and ancestors had to endure to achieve freedom. The Bandura, Ukraine's treasured national instrument is showcased at various Ukrainian holidays and special events.
We are fortunate to have a few Bandura players and one of them, Mark Krasij has even composed some songs that he shares here:
