The Mighty Dnipro – 73 Years of Dedicated Cultural Work
The Ukrainian Dnipro Choir of Edmonton, founded in 1953, is celebrating 73 years of singing. A non-denominational mixed-voice community choir, Dnipro’s membership encompasses singers of all ages and occupations. Its repertoire draws from the large and immensely rich repository of Ukrainian choral music of all genres – sacred, secular, and folk – with a special emphasis on the performance of contemporary and newly-commissioned works. Dnipro Choir combines the finest elements of Ukrainian choral music with vibrant camaraderie - a truly unique experience. The legacy of Dnipro Choir has proven to be as strong and powerful as our namesake – the Dnipro River!
Dnipro is "something that has stood the test of time . . . and that has for seven uninterrupted decades, worked at preserving and developing Ukrainian musical culture in Canada . . . beautifully reflecting the remarkable variety and richness of Ukrainian folk music."
