At Soyuzivka: August 8-10


KERHONKSON, N.Y. - The second weekend of August at Soyuzivka promises something special for one and all, as the Ukrainian National Association's resort offers fine food, an evening of cabaret entertainment, folk art and outdoor fun.

Early arrivals at the estate can feast on Chef Andriy Sonevytsky's seafood during Odesa Night, starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday on the Veselka Patio. Afterwards, enjoy the sounds of Soyuzivka, as interpreted by the house band, the Lvivyany, performing in the Trembita Lounge of the Veselka complex.

On Saturday, after enjoying the beauty of the Catskills by the pool, on the courts, or during a hike through Soyuzivka's woods, guests can relax in the evening during a cabaret/review beginning at 8:30 p.m. This will be singer Olya Chodoba-Fryz's first full-length show at Soyuzivka with a live band. Joining her will be Andrij Stasiw on piano, Chris Chodoba, vocals and percussion, George Stasiw, guitar, Nick Chodoba, bass, and Kefin Roth, drums.

The evening will reflect Olya's musical career, including songs from her first and second albums, as well as a selection from her new album of lullabies, and the singer's favorite cabaret and pop tunes. The program promises a mix of folk, contemporary and jazz music.

Immediately after coming to the cabaret, guests are invited to stay for the dance featuring the music of the Luna orchestra until the wee hours of the morning.

On Sunday morning guests may enjoy Soyuzivka's elaborate brunch, served in the Main House dining room.

The art feature for the weekend is ceramics by Daria Hanushevsky, on display in Soyuzivka's Main House.
