About the Artists
Julian Kytasty has gained international recognition for his work with the bandura. A third-generation bandurist, he integrates a deep and respectful knowledge of his instrument's past with a contemporary musical sensibility. He has performed in venues ranging from the steps of a village church in Brazil to Carnegie Hall and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He has composed for film, theater, and modern dance, as well as for the bandura.
Andriy Milavsky is an honored graduate of the Kyiv State Conservatory. Formerly the principal clarinetist of the Radio-Television Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, he has toured Western and Eastern Europe with the state orchestras of Kyiv, Moscow, Tartu, and Lviv, performing classical and folk repertoires at major concert halls. A talented multi-instrumentalist, Andriy founded the acclaimed New-York-based folk ensemble Cheres in 1990.
Roman Turovsky is an accomplished painter, composer, and instrumentalist who appears regularly as a lute soloist and continuo player with the New York Bandura Ensemble, under the direction of Julian Kytasty. In 2008, Turovsky was a recipient of the New York State Council on the Arts Folk Arts Apprenticeship Grant Award supporting a year-long study of kobzar (itinerant epic singer) repertoire with Julian Kytasty.
