ENSEMBLE
The Poltava Ensemble of Song, Music, and Dance is a 50 member Ukrainian ensemble which includes dancers, musicians and singers. The Ensemble’s roots in the Saskatchewan cultural scene began in 1922 with the formation of a children’s string orchestra and has since grown to include dancers, singers as well as musicians. Based in Regina, Saskatchewan, the Poltava Ensemble performs nationally and internationally and has performed at such events such as Drummondville World Festival, Walt Disney World Florida, FolkMoncao Portugal, Xornadas de Folclore de Ournse Spain as well as three international performing trips to Ukraine, including the highly acclaimed Folklore Festival in Yalta on the Black Sea.
MISSION
Our mission is to preserve, develop and disseminate the culture of Ukraine and its European neighbours through the media of song, music and dance, that is by means of artistic performance.
