Concert of Ukrainian music with Nastasia Y

Concert/fundraiser of Ukrainian music, which is being organized by Brilliant Cultural Centre and local Ukrainian community. The artist is Nastasia Y, Kyiv-born Toronto-based singer. Nastasia Y tells people about Ukraine through music. This is especially important during the war in Ukraine and the need for continued humanitarian support. At times of such unrest, when people and their culture are at risk, music can assist with healing, and communal healing is the main goal of this event.
Part of the proceeds from the concert will go to Maple Hope Foundation, Ukrainian-Canadian nonprofit organization based in Vancouver for medical supplies for Ukraine.
This is Nastasia’s second visit to Kootenays: her workshop and concert in July this year at Taghum Hall were a great success and received lots of positive feedback in our community!
The artist’s short bio: Nastasia Y blends ancient Slavic folk with jazz and funk, inspired by her Kyiv roots and her late father’s protest songs. A standout at the Toronto Jazz Festival, and a 2025 Canadian Folk Music Awards nominee for her latest album, Kyiv Soul, Nastasia channels ancestral voices to turn trauma into soulful resistance, opening hearts to global struggles. Pronunciation: nas-TA-s’yah
