"Bozhychi"

Folk ensemble “Bozhychi” was formed on January 7, 1999. It is made up of ten members, most of which are graduates of the ethnomusicology program in the National Music Academy of Ukraine, P.I. Tchaikovsky. Members of the ensemble take part in ethnomusicological expeditions throughout the year. Here they record folk songs and dances which become the main repertoire of the ensemble. In the vocal repertoire there are lyric, seasonal, and cycle songs from the Ukrainian regions of Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Poltava, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv. The ensemble also performs traditional instrumental-dance works from these regions.
