Olha Frolova
Olha Frolova is an artist from Kyiv, Ukraine, now living and creating in Edmonton. Drawing has always been her hobby and for the past seven years it has been her career. In her art she presents her loves, her worries, and her thoughts and since the beginning of the Russian full-scale invasion of independent Ukraine she represents more of her beautiful country within her drawings. Soon she knows she will draw a story of great victory.
Liubov Kostetska
Liubov Kostetska was born Ternopil, Ukraine and now resides in Edmonton with her family. At seven years old she enrolled in Makohona Art School and apon graduating interned in Poland where she decorated people’s walls with custom acrylic paintings. Her art portrays different Ukrainian historical events and have been sold in Ukrainian diasporas is countries such as Poland, Germany, USA, Canada, and Italy. She founded two private art studios where she was teaching children a variety of painting techniques while discussing and exploring Ukrainian history through art.
After the 2014 Revolution of Dignity in Ukraine Liubov had the idea to custom paint clothes in a national style- each one with its own unique meaning, raising and magnifying patriotism among members of her community. The clothing became extremely popular after the Russian invasion as people who moved out of Ukraine wanted something to remind them of their home. Her paintings are presented on a variety of clothing including jackets, shirts, and t-shirts using special textile paint. Every element has its own historical and cultural meaning.

Contemporary Works from Ukraine for violin by Bezborodko, Bibik, Loginov, Pidhorna, Silvestrov and Zavhorodnii
During a difficult time, Ukrainian new compositions show a burst of creativity. Other examples in music and art history during conflicts provide a comparison for discussion. The intimate space of McLuhan House offers an unparalleled opportunity to get to know not only these works but to understand and ask questions about contemporary composers’ creative exploration of sound, dance and space. These are performed and discussed by Viktoria Grynenko, a virtuoso violinist, teacher and scholar of this music. After studies in Ukraine, she holds a Ph.D. in Music from University of Alberta. She studies the skills of ballet and dance accompanists.
“ My aim for this recital is to give the audience tools to listen to contemporary music, what to listen for, how to have an enriching experience and dialogue with the music, and how to embrace the dissonance. Starting with Valentin Bibik and Valentin Silvestrov, luminaries of new music in Ukraine, we will move to Kyiv piano virtuoso Oleg Bezborodko, Ukrainian-Canadian Anna Pidhorna, and finish with the works by Boris Loginov and Ihor Zavhorodnii, written after the 2022 Russian invasion. There will be complete performances and excerpts used to illustrate the lecture. ” (Viktoria Geynenko)
Program :
Bezborodko Concert Fantasy “Cossack Beyond the Danube” on Gulak-Artemovsky’s opera
Zavhorodnii “Lacrimosa” for violin solo
Silvestrov “Melodies of the Moments” for violin and piano
Excerpts for artist’s talk and discussion :
Pidhorna, “Through closed doors”
Bibik “Sorrowful Music”
Loginov “sleep during insomnia” quartet and electronics (recorded)

Kateryna Kryvolap is an artist originally from Ukraine who makes her home in Canada. She was raised and educated in an artistic family where she found her passion for fine art.
Although Kateryna creates artwork of different styles, her website is dedicated exclusively to both contemporary decorative and traditional decorative painting styles. According to the artist, her paintings are more than fine art because they carry positive energy that is coded in symbolic decor elements.
Traditional Ukrainian decorative painting arose out of a folk art which was believed to have the magical power to protect from sorrow. Depictions of certain elements such as birds and flowers represented prosperity, harmony, and happiness.
When creating decorative art, Kateryna dedicates her time to the extension of conventional boundaries by incorporation of techniques and styles of the past, adapting them to the trends and materials of the present. Balanced colourful compositions with attention to small details combined with sophistication, tell the viewer about the artist’s self-expression, creativity, and aesthetic taste.
Since the perception of art is diverse, people of different nationalities and countries collect Kateryna’s original artwork not only for decoration purposes but in order to possess the new heritage of decorative art.

Ukrainian War Requiem
2024-04-13 19:00 - 22:00 | Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Ukrainian Catholic Parish, 704 Sixth Street NE, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
The Axios Men’s Ensemble commissioned Benedict Sheehan, a two-time GRAMMY® Award nominee, to compose a Requiem in response to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine. This war, which began in 2014 and escalated with a full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022, has tragically claimed countless lives. The Requiem is a solemn tribute to these victims.
Sheehan’s composition, spanning 12 movements, draws inspiration primarily from the Byzantine burial service, a ritual shared by Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches. Reflecting Ukraine’s diverse linguistic and religious landscape, the Requiem also weaves in elements from Jewish and Roman Catholic traditions. These varied texts serve multiple purposes: they offer solace and strength to the living, especially those grieving; they provide a space for praying for both victims and aggressors; and they ultimately aspire to convey hope, peace, and goodwill.
The premiere of this work promises to be a profound experience. It is an expansive and sublime piece that skillfully blends modern musical styles with traditional Ukrainian motifs and ancient chants. This arrangement not only reflects the harsh realities of war but also echoes humanity’s deep-seated longing for peace, goodness, truth, and beauty.
Featuring over 50 performers, the ensemble includes members of the Axios Men’s Ensemble, Pro Coro Canada—a professional choir based in Edmonton—and select soloists from North America and Ukraine. The performance will be under the direction of Maestro Michael Zaugg.
This Requiem is more than just music. It is a reverent homage to those affected by the war, a reminder of the enduring human spirit, and a heartfelt tribute to Ukraine and her people.

Канадська асоціація українців із колишньої Югославії з гордістю оголошує про захоплюючу культурну подію, присвячену багатій спадщині українців із колишньої Югославії. Нещодавно канадський автор Михайло Ляхович, який проживає в Торонто, Онтаріо, опублікував видатну книгу під назвою «Пісні зі Старої Батьківщини». Це видання зберігає 180 традиційних пісень, які наші предки привезли з України, забезпечуючи передачу цієї важливої частини нашої культурної історії майбутнім поколінням.
