Magic of Oleh Krysa’s Violin

KrysaThe beginning of  2008 at the Eastman School of Music was marked by performance of the entire Beethoven violin sonata cycle by Oleh Krysa – a world renowned violinist from Lviv, Ukraine now living in Rochester. The cycle had been performed in three faculty recitals in the span of two weeks. It was not a usual concert – it was an event in the Rochester musical community. “Everyone has to play sonatas by Beethoven. Without that high standard you cannot be a musician”, - said Oleh Krysa. Hundreds of students, faculty and area fans filled Kilbourn Hall to listen to the magic of Krysa`s violin. The violinist`s Beethoven marathon completed on Tuesday, February 5, 2008  with success, loud applause, flowers and warm words of appreciation  for maestro`s talent.

 

 

 

ChervonaKalyna
in Rochester, NY

On Saturday, February 3, 2008 the 50-th traditional ball of “Chervona Kalyna”, the presentation of young ladies to the Ukrainian Community of Rochester, NY, took place to accompaniment the well-known “Burya” band from Toronto, Canada. Under the arrangement of George Hanushevsky, Vietnam war veteran and Mrs. Halyna Snihur, the young debutantes dressed in white gowns were escorted to the ballroom by their young partners. This year’s three debutantes were Mariana Zakharchishin, 4-th wave representative of the Ukrainian immigration, escorted by Ihor Zubrytsky, Kalyna Kowal escorted by Zenon Hachatyn, and Alyssa Puhach, a member of SUM Ukrainian youth association , escorted by Oleksandr Hajduczok.             

Chervona Kalyna

Rev. Kiril Angelov gave the invocation and all joined in singing the “Lord’s Prayer”. Then the 50th anniversary debutante ball began with the traditional song “Hey, u luzi chervona kalyna”. In his opening remarks Mr. George Hanushevsky gave a brief history of the “Chervona Kalyna” debutante tradition started by the veterans of “Sichovi Striltsi” Legion in Lviv, Ukraine. Fifty years ago Lubomyr Bilyk, a 1st Division Ukrainian Army veteran revived the “Chervona Kalyna” tradition in Rochester to encourage the community’s youth to remember their heritage.

After the first traditional presentation dance all enjoyed dancing and listening to the sounds of “Burya”. Almost 80 people from Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Utica attended this event. Unfortunately, this year’s event was less numerous both in guests and debutantes. “Not quantity, but quality”, is the old saying. It was unfortunate that so few took advantage of this unique opportunity to participate in such a wonderful evening. A suggestion was made to organize the next ball jointly with Ukrainian-American communities in Rochester, Buffalo, Syracuse, Utica, Auburn and other neighboring communities. Why not?
