Indiana University Bloomington is proud to be the home of Indiana Slavic Choir, founded in the fall of 2021. The goal of the group is to learn, showcase, and celebrate the diverse East and South European folk singing traditions. The founder and artistic director of the ensemble is Iryna Voloshyna, a PhD candidate in the IU Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. Originally from Ukraine, Iryna is well-versed in the Ukrainian polyphonic singing tradition, but together with the group she is exploring folk singing of other cultures of the region. The choir's repertoire includes, but is not limited to songs in Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Crimean Tatar, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, and other languages. Indiana Slavic Choir’s performances and reputation extend beyond Bloomington: they have collaborated with Ukrainian-American professional ensembles and musicians, recorded with students and graduates of the IU Jacobs School of Music, and performed for the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Oleksandra Matviichuk, among other events. Indiana Slavic Choir unites undergraduate and graduate students from across the university, as well as faculty, staff, alumni, and Bloomington community members.
