Ukrainian music fills Queens hall

Ukrainian songs, folk dances, bandura music took the spotlight from the space capsule exhibits and science displays at New York City's Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows, N.Y., on December 9. The reason: Ukrainian day in the Second Annual Itnernational Festival at the hall. Taking part were the Young Dumka children's chorus directed by Stanislav Kosiv with piano accompaniment by Martha Maczaj, the Ukrainian Folk Ballet directed by Ulana Kunynsky-Shmerykowsky, the Ukrainian Bandura Ensemble of New York directed by the Rev. Serhij K. Pastukhiv, and the Ukrainian Dancers of Flushing directed by Olga Wojcik. Oksana Kuzyszyn of the New York Plast branch coordinated the afternoon program, which included food booths and a Ukrainian exhibit highlighted by Christmas breads and a Slava Gerulak ceramic creche.
