Based in Hartford, CT, the Yevshan Ukrainian Vocal Ensemble performed its first full-length concert in 1999. Since then, the choir has performed in concerts and liturgical services in Hartford, Boston, New Haven, New York, Rochester, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C., and in joint benefit concerts with Connecticut’s Polish, Jewish, and Baltic communities.

The choir is comprised of singers from different faith backgrounds, but most of its members are active in Ukrainian Catholic and Orthodox parishes across Connecticut.  Yevshan has worked in collaboration with Chorale Connecticut, the Yale Slavic Chorus, the Wesleyan and Fordham Concert choirs, the Zoloty Promin’ Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, and other regional performing arts ensembles. 

Since the full scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces in 2022, the Ensemble has been heavily involved in providing financial aid for worthy causes serving Ukraine’s  embattled communities. 

Please stay after the performance for refreshments and to meet the members of this ensemble!
