Ne čudi što je Gogolj jednom napisao da “Ukrajinci pozvone uz pjesmu“.

Verjovka - Glazba, pjesme i plesovi Verjovke reflektiraju snažnu energiju, kao i folklorno bogatstvo kozačkog i čumačkog naroda. Pjesme su vesele i duhovite, balade nježne, narodni plesovi šareno kostimirane briljantne koreografije u tradiciji prošlih stoljeća.
Sa sjedištem u Kijevu ovaj ansambl tvori stotinu virtuoznih plesača koji oduševljavaju, pjevača koji šarmiraju i uzbuđuju, glazbenika koji uznemiruju, pa onda smiruju... Zato ne čudi da je Gogolj jednom napisao da “Ukrajinci pozvone uz pjesmu“.
Više od 60 godina Ukrajinski nacionalni akademski folklorni zbor pod imenom G. Verjovka razgaljuje publiku diljem svijeta nježnim ukrajinskim pjesmama.
Slavni ukrajinski kompozitor i dirigent Grigorij Verjovka začetnik je i umjetnički direktor ove skupine. Upravo je pod njegovim ravnanjem zbor razvio svoj osebujni umjetnički način izvođenja ukrajinskih narodnih pjesama.
Pod vodstvom Anatolija Avdijevskog započet će sasvim nova epohu u kreativnom djelovanju zbora. Postigavši savršenstvo kombinirajući narodni i akademski stil pjevanja, zbor je proširio i obogatio svoj repertoar izvornim remek djelima zbornog pjevanja, uključujući etno i narodne pjesme, klasična djela koja se izvode a cappella, te moderne pjesme.
Vrhunac repertoara ovog zbora narodna je opera-balet “Paprat cvjeta“ u kojoj su narodni motivi uspješno kombinirani s modernim kompozicijama i aranžmanima.
U današnje je doba zbor razvio izvanredne pjevačke vještine izvođenja glazbenih djela koje su nekoć procjenjivane s onu stranu granica izvođačkih mogućnosti.

It is no wonder the Gogol once wrote “The Ukraine rings with song”.

Veryovka - The music, songs and dances of Veryovka reflect the sparking energy and versatility of the Cossacks and Chumak people and include delightfully humorous songs, tender ballads and colorfully costumed folk dances, brilliantly choreographed in the tradition of the past centuries.
Based in Kyiv, the ensemble of virtuoso performers consists of a hundred extraordinary dancers that delight and enchant, singers that charm and provoke, and musicians that soothe and stimulate….it is no wonder the Gogol once wrote “The Ukraine rings with song”.
For more than 60 years the Ukrainian National Academic Folk Chorus named G.Veryovka has fascinated audience all over the world with sweet Ukrainian songs.
Famous Ukrainian composer and conductor Grygoriy Veryovka was its founder father and artistic director. It was under his guidance that the choir’s unique artistic manner of performing Ukrainian folk song was developed.
Avdiyevskiy is a whole new epoch in the choir’s creative life. Having achieved great mastery in combining folk and academic styles of singing, the choir has broadened and enriched its repertoire with more genuine master-pieces of choir singing, including ethnic and folk songs, classical pieces performed a cappella and modern songs.
The highlight of the choir’s repertoire is E. Stankovich’s folk- opera-ballet “The Flower of the Fern” where folk motifs have been successfully synthesized with modern methods of composition and arrangement.
At the present time, the choir has developed such singing skills while performing musical pieces that earlier were considered impossible for choir singing.
