MILFORD, PA — The Korinya Ukrainian Folk Band and dancers from the KAZKA Ukrainian Folk Ensemble will perform on September 19 at 7:30 p.m. at the Milford Theatre. The event is sponsored by Kindred Spirits.

Korinya, which means “roots” in English, is a band based in upstate New York that has been performing in the United States, Canada and Europe since 2005 (www.korinya.yolasite.com). In 2012, its young members earned the title of National Artists of Ukraine by winning first place at the Boyko Festival. They play some easily recognized instruments (e.g. violin), but they also use exotic ones such as a bandura, telenka and duda.

The Kazka Ukrainian Folk Ensemble (www.kazkaensemble.org) was founded in 1987 in order to preserve and promote Ukrainian culture, music and dance in Northeastern PA. It is dedicated to the preservation of the music and dance of the first immigrants to the anthracite coal regions in the late 19th century and early 20th centuries.

The Milford Theatre is located at 114 East Catharine St. Tickets cost $20, or $15 when bought in advance at www.kindredspiritsarts.org or in person at Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad St. Children under 15 will be admitted free. Visit www.kindredspirits.org.
