An encounter between voice, memory, and a living culture.
With Voices of Ukraine, Les Rugissants invites audiences on a journey into the heart of the Ukrainian choral tradition through a moving a cappella program.
From folk songs and sacred music to traditional choral repertoire, each work reflects the vitality of a musical heritage shaped over centuries.
Carried by unaccompanied voices, these songs celebrate the beauty, strength, and resilience of Ukrainian culture while creating a space for connection, reflection, and shared experience.
