"Dudaryk” will bring the heart of Ukrainian Christmas traditions to you.
Founded in 1971 during the challenges of Soviet occupation, they became a shining example of Ukrainian musical excellence. Notably, they made history by performing under the Ukrainian flag in the USA just before the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Ukraine.Their mission is to enrich and promote Ukrainian musical heritage globally while preserving the centuries-old tradition of choral music in Ukraine. Christmas concerts in Copenhagen promise to be a captivating showcase of Ukrainian Christmas carols and traditions.
"Curating Dudaryk's concerts in Copenhagen is a distinct privilege. Our aim is to enable this exceptional choir to resonate abroad during wartime, bringing the rich tapestry of Ukrainian choral tradition to the Danish audience, all while championing Dudaryk's philanthropic cause—dedicated support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. However, the harsh reality looms: should Ukraine not prevail in its struggle against Russia, the current mobility and melodic prowess of Dudaryk's members may be traded for a different role on the front lines, alongside a myriad of other professionals—artists, scientists, engineers, poets—who have already answered the call to defend global freedom.
As Christmas approaches, marking the second year of separation for millions of Ukrainian families, these concerts serve as a poignant intersection of solace and solidarity. For both the Ukrainians seeking refuge and the Danish audience, the harmony of Dudaryk becomes a source of joy and hope from Ukraine," says Nataliia Popovych, Chairperson of Ukraine House in Denmark.
Their mission extends beyond music; Dudaryk aims to enrich and promote Ukrainian musical heritage globally while preserving the centuries-old tradition of choral music in Ukraine. The upcoming Christmas concerts in Copenhagen promise to be a captivating showcase of Ukrainian Christmas carols and traditions.
“I emphasize the vital role of performing abroad, not just as a musical endeavor, but as a psychological respite from the realities of war. Performing abroad becomes a meaningful avenue for us. Every concert we hold, every contribution we receive, all income and fees generated by Dudaryk go directly toward supporting our country's defense capabilities. This takes on a profound significance as we strive to represent and safeguard the rich tapestry of Ukrainian cultural heritage on the global stage,” says conductor Dmytro Katsal.
Dudaryk also fights for the cultural heritage of Ukraine through projects like "Acceptance," challenging historical misconceptions and collecting Ukrainian songs that were erroneously claimed by others.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of music, tradition, and unity this December. All concert profits will be donated to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, supporting their fight for sovereignty and against ongoing Russian aggression.
The event is organized with support from the Embassy of Ukraine in the Kingdom of Denmark.

Copenhagen, Denmark - On Tuesday, May 28th, Ukraine House in Denmark hosted a compelling discussion with Yevheniia Kravchuk, Ukrainian MP, Deputy Chair of the Committee on Humanitarian and Informational Policy in the Ukrainian Parliament, and author of the PACE resolution on cultural erasure during the war. The discussion addressed the challenges and opportunities of safeguarding culture amidst the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Key points articulated by Yevheniya Kravchuk include: Cultural and Physical Destruction: Russia's objective extends beyond physical annihilation of Ukrainians to encompass the obliteration of their identity. This is starkly illustrated by the destruction of language and cultural heritage, including UNESCO sites and heritage significant to specific regions, villages, or families. The collective loss felt by the community when such cultural assets are destroyed is profound. Threat to Ukrainian and Crimean Tatar Heritage: Since 2014 and the occupation of Crim
