Join us on Wednesday, August 6th for Ukrainian singing & workshop from Benya Stewart!
benya.stewart is an American folk musician from Ohio who has, since 2020, undergone a transition towards living and working in Ukraine. After studying musical theater and then folk singing in American and British styles for many years, a random and fortuitous connection with an Belarusian folklorist led him down the road towards a lasting fascination with traditional Ukrainian singing. For the last two years, he has lived in Kyiv full-time as an English teacher, where he has had the incredible fortune to study singing weekly with Yevhen Yefremov and Ilya Fetysov.
