BIOGRAPHY
Ekaterina is a versatile singer, and multi-instrumentalist. Performing with percussion, guitar, zhaleika, and recorder, her unique voice encompasses a wide range of sounds, from the traditional ritual singing of Eastern Europe to Western classical and early music.

An active live performer, Ekaterina has participated in numerous world music events, including Mundial (Montreal), Global Fest (New York), Calgary Folk Music Festival (Calgary), The Harrison Festival of the Arts (British Columbia) , Multicultural Canada Day Celebration (Yonge Dundas Square), and the Toronto Ukrainian Festival to name a few.
