Ukraine didn't become an independent country until 1991, but the culture of the Ukrainian people has been evolving for more than a thousand years. Virsky Ukrainian National Dance Company, founded in 1973 by ballet master Pavlo Virsky, embraces the charm, beauty, and folk dance traditions of its homeland and shares them with audiences in the four corners of the world. Clad in colorful clothing and blessed with grace, the company performs dances filled, in turn, with romance, optimism, humor, and occasional melancholy. Since 1980, choreographic ethnographer Myroslav Vantukh has served as artistic director of the company his mentor created. Under Vantukh's leadership, the company of eighty-five artists continues to create dances that enrich an already broad and deep repertoire.

The a cappella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock performs a program honoring the array of holiday traditions that mark the end of the year. Founded in Washington, DC, in 1973, the African American female vocal group gets its name from Psalm 81:16, which speaks of a promise to be fed by honey out of a rock. The metaphor aptly describes the ensemble's repertoire steeped in the sacred music of the African American church, the clarion calls of the civil rights movement, and songs of the struggle for justice everywhere. The ensemble fashions its music from the sounds of the blues, spirituals, gospel, rap, reggae, African chants, hip-hop, and jazz. Sweet Honey's collective voice, sometimes accompanied by hand percussion instruments, produces soulful harmonies and intricate rhythms.
