Опис події

November 14, 2026 will see a special cultural event in Edmonton—the “Concert of Unity”—dedicated to the fourth anniversary of the founding of the Ukrainian orchestra Razom.

That evening, the Ukrainian community will come together to enjoy live music, traditional dances, and singing, and to support an important international initiative—“Rushnyk of Unity—Rushnyk of Victory”.

Guests can look forward not only to a festive concert but also to the opportunity to become part of a unique project that has already brought together Ukrainians from 15 countries around the world.

🎶 Concert of Unity: Ukrainian Music, Songs, and Dances

This year, the Razom Orchestra is celebrating its fourth anniversary. To mark the occasion, the organizers have prepared a concert program featuring Ukrainian artistic groups from Edmonton.

Performing on stage will be:

  • 🎻 Razom Orchestra — a Ukrainian orchestra celebrating its fourth anniversary.
  • 🎤 “Nove Zhyttia” Choir — Ukrainian songs performed by a choir.
  • 🪕 Feyeria Bandura Group — a bandura ensemble that will treat guests to the sounds of this traditional Ukrainian instrument.
  • 💃 Cheremosh Ukrainian Dance Company — a Ukrainian dance ensemble.
  • 🎶 Daryna Krupa — a young soloist who will also take part in the festive program.

The concert will be an opportunity to meet up with friends, spend an evening with the Ukrainian community, and support local artists who preserve and promote Ukrainian culture in Canada.

🧵 “Towel of Unity — Towel of Victory”: an international project uniting Ukrainians

A special part of the event will be the presentation of the international project “Towel of Unity — Towel of Victory”.

This initiative began back in 2014 at the initiative of Rotarians from Kherson. Its main goal is to unite Ukrainians in different corners of the world through one of the most important symbols of Ukrainian culture—the embroidered towel.

Over the years, the towel has traveled to various countries, and Ukrainian communities have added new embroidered sections to it, creating a shared symbol of unity, remembrance, hope, and faith in Ukraine’s victory.

Today, the project has reached impressive proportions:

  • 🧵 Over 165 meters—the total length of the towel.
  • 🌍 15 countries—whose representatives have contributed to its creation.
  • 🏆 Guinness World Record—the goal the organizers are striving to achieve.

During the event in Edmonton, guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the history of this project and find out how they can contribute their own towels.

This is an opportunity for Alberta’s Ukrainian community to leave their mark on an international initiative that symbolizes the bond among Ukrainians, regardless of where they live today.

🙏 Prayer Service for Ukraine

Before the concert program begins, there will be a joint prayer service for Ukraine’s victory, peace, and the memory of fallen Ukrainian defenders.

Participants will be able to pray together for those defending Ukraine, honor the memory of the fallen, and support one another.

The prayer service will begin at 5:30 p.m. at St. John’s Cathedral.

Afterward, guests can attend the festive concert at the St. John’s Cultural Center.
