How long have you and your sister been performing at Folklorama ? We started when we were little girls modelling costumes . We ’ ve been singing and dancing since the mid-70s .
What performers do you seek out during the festival ? I see them all ! We are a Folklorama family , so we go to every pavilion each year .
What is your favourite way of celebrating and preserving Ukrainian traditions ? It would have to be through the holidays — Christmas and Easter . These are both very big !
Does your career as a performer affect your job as a music teacher ? It opens doors to opportunities for my students . I have taken classes to sing the national anthem at Goldeyes and Moose games .
Where do you take outof-town visitors to show off the city ? Folklorama if they are here in August ! We love taking them to our great multicultural restaurants ... Also The Forks and Assiniboine Park to see the Leo Mol Sculpture garden .
