The Veryovka National Choir will perform Kyrylo Stetsenko’s Third Liturgy for Choir and Folk Singing at the Refectory of the Kyiv‑Pechersk Lavra on 3 October 2026. The concert starts at 18:00 and is scheduled to run about 75 minutes in the Lavra’s Refectory at Lavrska St., 21 (building 29).

Stetsenko composed the Liturgy in 1921 during a period of revived Ukrainian church life; the work intentionally combines choir and congregational-style singing and revives Ukrainian spiritual chant and psalm traditions. For Veryovka—known for blending academic choral technique with folk vocal traditions—this program is presented as an occasion to revisit that stylistic meeting.

Tickets are on sale via Kontramarka; the listed price is 1,190 UAH. Readers should re-check availability, seating, and access rules with the ticketing site before attending.
