The Magic of Ukrainian Christmas offers a rich sampling of Christmas and seasonal music from different regions of Ukraine and Eastern Europe. Included will be Gerdan's original arrangements of traditional songs, carols and instrumental music. Gerdan musicians invite the audience to feel the power of human spirit, resilience and hope through the music, poetry and dance.

Founded by Ukrainian professional duo Solomia Gorokhivska and Andrei Pidkivka, musicians of Gerdan bring the fire and the edge of melodic ideas and rhythms that capture the listener. They reveal their passion for traditional Ukrainian music in their artistic expression to build cultural bridges in time and distance.
