Taras Shevchenko

Famous Ukrainian Poet

Taras Shevchenko is the most famous Ukrainian Artist and Poet who is honored more than any other figure in Ukraine. He gave his life for Ukraine after many years in prison for his love and expression of everything Ukrainian.

 

During the times of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian culture, language, religion and many customs were forbidden.  Ukrainian communities around the world hold yearly events to commemorate Ukrainian Poet's legacies.

Ukrainian Independence Day

Ukrainians are very passionate about their traditions, finding every opportunity to share with others all the beautiful customs that bring our community together while never forgetting the past struggles our country and ancestors had to endure to achieve freedom. The Bandura, Ukraine's treasured national instrument is showcased at various Ukrainian holidays and special events. We are fortunate to have a few Bandura players and one of them, Mark Krasij has even composed some songs that he shares here:

Community Presentations

Our mission is to promote, preserve and celebrate our culture. We can promote our culture by educating those around us, especially children and their parents. UAST occasionally is invited to present our culture at international events and we are happy to showcase our beautiful items of embroidery, wooden crafts, jewelry, pysanky and musical instruments!

The ruZZian invasion of Ukraine has spiked interest by citizens of the world to know more about Ukraine and it's people.  We are happy to visit your group and share the culture, language and traditions of the Ukrainian nation.
