Who we are

Songs that keep a homeland close

Ukrainian Voices is a community choir, born in Brighton & Hove in 2022. Many of us came to England after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Singing together is how we hold on to home — and how we share its beauty with the city that took us in.

We sing a cappella: just voices, woven into the close harmonies that Ukrainian folk singing is loved for. From village ritual songs to tender ballads, every piece carries a piece of Ukraine with it.

Musical director Liudmyla Kulakova · often joined by our friends Nebo I Zemlya of Lewes.

Our music

What we sing

Folk songs

The traditional songs of Ukraine's villages and regions — harvest, love and home — passed down through generations and sung in rich harmony.

Ritual & folklore

Seasonal and ceremonial songs, such as the midsummer Rusalii — ancient music of water, nature and the feminine, brought back to life on stage.

Ballads & modern

Heartfelt ballads and contemporary Ukrainian pieces — the songs that speak to today, alongside the ones that remember.
