Yavir School of Ukrainian Dance and Yavir Ensemble have had a busy 2005/6 season with performances at a variety of community events, weddings and other concerts. Artistic Director, Paul Olijnyk says he will continue to look for performance opportunities for the ensembles over the coming season.

Wardrobe mistress Lubomyra Tomchak has been working hard on sewing and assembling new costumes for some of the ensembles. They will make their debut on May 28, 2006 at the Annual Spring Concert at Michael Power High School.

In order to prepare for the summer performances, Yavir Ensemble will practise throughout the summer culminating in its performance at the Soyuzivka Festival in Kerhonkson, NY on the Labour Day weekend. If you can’t make it to Soyuzivka, support Yavir and Cheremosh at the preview evening on August 31, 7:30 pm at the St. Demetrius Auditorium.
