A classic holiday song, today, the song of survival as Ukraine’s Shchedryk Children Choir performs “Carol Of The Bells” at New York’s Carnegie Hall. The same venue where the Ukrainian song premiered a century ago. The choir’s members reunited this summer after many fled to safer places during the war. Over the last few weeks, they rehearsed in Kyiv, sometimes practicing in a bomb shelter without electricity. Now, the children who’ve been through so much are proving joy and hope can prevail.

And it was very same situation 100 years ago. Koshytsya choir brought Leontovych song version in Carnegie Hall when Ukraine was in the war, proclaiming independency in very last moment before fall and ended with Russian occupation. Leontovych didn’t make to world recognition – was killed by KGB agent, same fate for most of our artists, composers, poets. Then they were enforcing our Ukrainian men under death penalty into their war in Finland that was next. And later they did for Ukraine extermination by artificial hunger – Holodomor, to broke last resistance and resettle our land with Russians from Ural.

More meaningful Carol
Of The Bells by the Ukraine children for the people who are still alive to hear, sing another day in or around the world who are of Ukraine. Everyone should take notice.
This is going to be a difficult Christmas for them
Amazing how none of the kids seems upset about the war in their country…they don't look like they are starving, sick….hmmm guess just another way for Zelensky to get billions of our tax payers money to put in his and the Demorats pockets…. amazing how our own politicians use children to get money…not to help anyone but themselves….and look at all the morons who fall for it…
Death to Dutin…..Death to Dutin…..Death to Dutin……love that song
Where are the black people🤷♀️
Just beautiful!
Prayers for you all
This song and its author were born in Donesk region in Ukraine on the beginning of 20th century. The words of the folk poem were born much earlier when Ukrainians even weren't Christians.
The author Mykhola Leontovych was killed by soviet agent. Donesk region is occupied by Russians now.
We are fighting to be free forever from russians at least.
As a Russian I'm watching it with tears in my eyes. I'm so ashamed of my country, my government and the people who went to fight in this war. It's a horrible, shameful, disgusting war. So much injustice and cruelty done to the beautiful people if Ukrain 💔
Love the song but this is most certainly not a new meaning. War has long been a tradition, as well. We'd be wise to remember that.
Shchedryk!
Beautiful Christmas Carol from the Beautiful Country Ukraine 👏👏👏 💙💛
It brings tears to my eyes. A hundred years ago there was no one to help my country to fight against the imperialistic and bolshevik russia. And now we have the support of all the democratic nations. I am thankful to everyone helping us with weapons, money or other support to fight for our freedom!
Dear God, reading all those comments makes my soul melt! Thank you! We DO appreciate your help, we admire you, we ARE grateful! Bless your souls this Christmas! We DO love you all, wonderful people!
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
