Gerdan Ukrainian Ensemble
The ensemble is named after Gerdan, a multi-colored, intricately woven beaded necklace from the Carpathian Mountains in Ukraine. Like this dazzling and exquisite necklace of different colors and shapes, musicians create original arrangements of traditional Ukrainian folk melodies and rhythms that reflect their passion for blending the old with the new in a fresh, lively, and beautiful style. The exclusive collection of authentic Ukrainian flutes combined with other traditional and modern instruments creates an unforgettable musical experience. Gerdans musicians have been acknowledged for their technique and exquisite musical presentations performing an exciting Eastern European music repertoire. They reveal their passion for traditional music in their artistic expression to build cultural bridges in time and distance.
Gerdan ensemble performs and conducts educational outreach programs in public and private schools in Maryland, Virginia, and DC for the K-12 grade students.
