 | | The Lemkovyna Choir was founded in Fall 1969 in the village of Rudno (now part of the city of L'viv) by Lemkos born in Poland who had been settled in L'viv and the villages of Rudno and Zymna Voda. |
 | | The choir has a repertoire of over 70 Lemko songs, and also performs liturgical music, music written by Ukrainian composers to the words of Ukrainian poets Taras Shevchenko and Ivan Franko, Ukrainian songs from the shores of the Dnieper, and songs from the Carpathian Bojko, Hutsul, and Transcarpathian regions. |
 | | The professor and music critic Jaroslav Mychal'chyshyn gave his opinion on the concert: "[the combination of] the choir's folk dress, the faces of the singers, and the execution of the songs have some kind of special effect on me....[especially to hear] the choir's enthusiasm, this is an experience that can't be repeated. |
