If you're not convinced that this is a must-see concert, check out the videos below. I first saw Vasyl when he was still with the Hopak Ukrainian Folk Ensemble, which came to Vancouver circa 1993. I thought then what a marvelous talent he was, and he has only gotten better with time. He is a consummate showman as well as a rare talent ... even broken strings won't slow him down!
Enjoy the show!
