Prior to the pre-event talk, at 4PM, Dr. Batstone will present “Tradition & Innovation: A Listener\u2019s Guide to Ukraine” at<\/a> the IRMC Center.<\/p>\n

Following the pre-event talk: Experience the electrifying sound of DakhaBrakha, the world-renowned quartet from Kyiv, Ukraine, whose music defies boundaries. Blending Ukrainian folk traditions with global influences, they weave driving rhythms, haunting vocals, and distinctive instrumentation into a sound that\u2019s both powerful and poetic. With trademark harmonies, bold style, and emotional depth, DakhaBrakha offers a performance that\u2019s as exhilarating as it is deeply resonant in this moment in history. Tickets are available on the Collins Center for the Arts website.<\/a><\/p>\n
