'Sounds of Ukraine' to be heard across Canada, from east to west

TORONTO - The world-renowned Kyiv Chamber Choir and its conductor, Mykola Hobdych, will return to Canada to give 12 concerts in 11 cities this fall between October 29 and November 12.

Concerts will take place in the outstanding acoustics of high-quality venues in Kitchener, London, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina and Winnipeg.

The winners of three grand prix awards in competitions among the best choirs in Europe, the Kyiv Chamber Choir is also among the most sought after performers of classical music. Its European concerts regularly attract sold-out audiences and its compelling presentations had a unique and positive impact in every Canadian city where they performed in 2004.

In January 2005 the CBC Radio Network aired a two-hour broadcast of the choir's memorable performance in Toronto's George Weston Recital Hall, a concert that is also available on CD.

The 2006 concerts are being presented by Platinum Concerts International, a young Canadian company whose goals include presenting the "hidden treasure" of Ukrainian choral music to North American arts and music audiences.

The national sponsor of the Kyiv Chamber Choir's fall concert tour is Acuity Funds Ltd.
