The parishoners of the U.O.C. of the Holy Transfiguration Ukrainian Catholic Church were in for a musical treat Sunday afternoon, when the Dibrova Ukrainian Folk Ensemble performed a special Christmas carol concert in Yorkton.
 
The concert, “Carol for Christmas”, held a traditional program of carols and old favourites including 'We are Weary Travellers' and 'In Bethlehem'.
 
The choir, which was established in 1981, aims to ensure the history of koliady and Ukrainian folksongs continue for years to come. The performance was directed by artistic director Stanyslaw Hawryliw, and the enthusiastic audience enjoyed the skilful renditions of the musical selections. The Dibrova Choir have also released several CDs of their musical performances.
