4th Annual Kubasa Competition - Saturday June 14, 2008

Calgary, AB… The Korinnya Ukrainian Folk Ensemble presents its 4th annual Kubasa Competition; an evening event showcasing local Ukrainian music, culture and smoked meat. Everyone is invited to:

• Taste some of the best garlic sausage in western Canada, and vote on your favourite,
• Enjoy the sounds of the Korinnya Ukrainian Folk Ensemble, TRYZUB Ukrainian Dance Ensemble, Suzirya Ukrainian Dance Theatre, Polanie Polish Song and Dance Association,
• and dance to entertaining Ukrainian dance band music of Kalabai Ukrainian Fusion from Edmonton.

This year's event will consist of three sets of Ukrainian entertainment – music, song and dance by performers from Calgary. In between the evening’s musical segments the guests will sample different varieties of sausage from producers across western Canada. The expected 250 guests will then vote on their favourite in each category, with the winners announced at the end of the evening.

Korinnya is a choral ensemble entertaining Calgary’s Ukrainian community since 1993. Korinnya sings traditional folk music often with the accompaniment of a four-piece orchestra. Over the past 13 years, Korinnya has shared its exuberance of the Ukrainian culture with audiences across western Canada, and has released two CD's.
