Toronto, Ontario.





The Volyn Ukrainian Song & Dance Company to start their Canadian Tour





The long awaited 22-city Canadian Tour by the world-class VOLYN
UKRAINIAN SONG & DANCE COMPANY of Lutsk, Ukraine, will premiere at the
Grand Theatre in London, ON, on Tuesday, June 20, 2006. The performance
starts at 8:00 p.m.



During their 1999 North American Tour their performance was described by
The New York Times as "Flawless," while the Chicago Tribune exclaimed
"Glorious!"



Northstreams Inc., a top Canadian production house will be filming the
live performance. This television special is destined for the PBS, SCN,
BRAVO and other television networks around the world.



Tickets at the Hummingbird Center for the Performing Arts in Toronto are
going fast and furious, with customers snapping up the best seats. It is
projected that the Toronto performance on Saturday, June 24, at 8:00
p.m. will soon be sold out. Sales in other cities are going well.



Judging by the standing ovations, laudatory press reviews, and the
numerous compliments from patrons, the entertainment quality is superb!



  From song to dance, and back again, the entire team on the stage keeps
us entertained, amused, and tapping our toes or clapping our hands.  The
well trained professional singers and disciplined dancers mix happily
with the peppy musicians in a congenial "neighbourly" way with a
Hollywood touch!   This is a world-class ensemble!



The Volyn Ukrainian Song & Dance Company is Ukraine's premiere goodwill
ambassador to Canada.  Their performance embodies the best Ukraine has
to offer in the art of spectacular folkloric dance, song, and music.
Volyn is the Spirit of Ukraine!
