The story behind it
Celebrating Ukraine’s rich choral tradition, the festival perpetuates Leontovych’s legacy (composer of “Carol of the Bells”) and local music education. It draws on decades of choral music tradition in Podilia, and in wartime also honors patriotism through sacred and folk songs. Officials often stress its importance in sustaining Ukrainian cultural identity.
