ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Over 700 people from Rochester, Buffalo and Syracuse, N.Y., on Sunday, March 15, attended a concert by the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus led by artistic director/conductor Oleh Mahlay. The performance in Rochester – part of the 2015 concert series “Brothers! We Shall Live” that presented music to the words of Taras Shevchenko – elicited long standing ovations and cries of “Bravo.” Also performing were the Slavic Pentecostal Church Vocal Group, students of the local school of Ukrainian studies and the Ukrainian Arts Foundation of Greater Rochester Dance Group. The concert was held at the Hochstein School of Music and was sponsored by the Ukrainian Federal Credit Union. The event raised over $50,000 for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. That same weekend, the Ukrainian Bandurist Chorus performed in Passaic, N.J. (Friday, March 13), and in Stamford, Conn. (Saturday, March 14).

Aid not making dents in Ukraine’s anti-corruption effort, says EU auditor<h5>Findings come ahead of annual high-level summit in Kyiv</h5>
KYIV – An independent report by the European Union’s (EU) independent outside auditor of finances said the 27-member state body’s reform assistance to Ukraine has proven ineffective “in fighting grand corruption” and establishing the rule of law. The damning report, published on September 23 by the European Court of Auditors (ECA), stated that the 12.2 billion euros in various forms of assistance and loan guarantees provided to Ukraine since 2014 have “not delivered the expected results.”
