On her own YouTube channel — Таня Mezzo-Band — she sums up what she does in two words, under a recording of \"Смерекова хата\": \"Voice & bandura.\" The channel has been running since 30 December 2021 and holds 19 videos.\n\nMuch of what she posts is Christmas. Kolyadky and shchedrivky go up around the turn of the year: \"Коляда «По всьому світу стала новина»\", \"Коляда «На Йорданській річці»\", \"Коляда «Радість нам ся явила»\", \"Щедрівка «Ой на річці, на Йордані»\" — each with a one-line invitation under it, \"Колядуймо разом!\" and \"Щедруймо разом!\" Others name the arrangement she follows: \"Павочка\" за Стеценком і Леонтовичем «із старих джерел», \"Небо ясні зорі вкрили\" за обр. Б. Сегіна, and under \"Що то за предиво?\" a single line, \"за Барвінським\".\n\nOutside the carol season she records folk and art song. \"Маланка\" she captions \"Старовинна обрядова пісня\" — an ancient ritual song. \"Тиха вода, тиха вода\" she marks народна весільна, a folk wedding song. Under \"Зоре моя вечірняя\", words by Taras Shevchenko to a folk melody, she writes that the \"Text drawn from the poem «Княжна»\". There is also \"Сину, качки летять\" (сл. М. Ткача, муз. О. Білаша), \"Смерекова хата\" (муз. П. Дворського, вір. М. Бакая) and \"Моя Україно\" (муз. М. Костецького, сл. О. Новицького), which she marks \"(adaptation)\".\n\nHer captions say where the camera was standing. \"Christmas Concert at Bells Corners United Church, Ottawa,\" posted December 2024. \"En récital à St-Alexandre, Gatineau,\" posted March 2025. \"Christmas Carol concert in Ottawa, Dec. 26, 2025.\" And her two newest uploads, 30 August and 2 September 2026, carry Festival Ukrainien de Montréal in their titles — \"Тече вода\" and \"Моя Україна\".","city":"Ottawa","businessName":null,"offering":null,"officialLinks":{"youtube":"https://www.youtube.com/@navolska-voixbonte-ua"}},"uafest":{"types":["performer"],"years":[2026],"contributions":["Performed"],"projects":[{"name":"Таня Mezzo-Band — her YouTube channel","role":"Her own channel since 30 December 2021: 19 recordings of voice and bandura"},{"name":"Festival Ukrainien de Montréal","role":"\"Тече вода\" and \"Моя Україна\", both titled from the festival, posted 30 August and 2 September 2026"},{"name":"Christmas Carol concert, Ottawa","role":"Performer at the concert of 26 December 2025, by her own caption"},{"name":"Christmas Concert, Bells Corners United Church, Ottawa","role":"Performer, by her own caption; recording posted 17 December 2024"},{"name":"Récital à St-Alexandre, Gatineau","role":"Performer, by her own caption; recording posted 30 March 2025"}],"relationship":"UAFest Family member"},"media":{"portrait":null,"logo":null,"gallery":[{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/1.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska seated with her bandura before a church icon screen, from the recording she captions \"Christmas Carol concert in Ottawa, Dec. 26, 2025\""},{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/2.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska seated with her bandura in an embroidered blouse and burgundy wrap skirt, singing «Зоре моя вечірняя»"},{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/3.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska playing the bandura during «Маланка», an ancient ritual song"},{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/4.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska with the bandura, the recording she captions simply \"Voice & bandura\""},{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/5.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska singing «Тиха вода, тиха вода», a Ukrainian folk wedding song"},{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/6.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska singing «Моя Україно», from the recording she captions \"En récital à St-Alexandre, Gatineau\""},{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/7.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska in an embroidered blouse with the bandura, singing «Що то за предиво?»"},{"src":"/family/tanya-navolska/8.webp","alt":"Tanya Navolska beside a Christmas tree with her bandura, singing the carol «По всьому світу стала новина»"}],"videos":[]},"pricing":"Contact the member or business directly for current pricing and availability.","lastModified":"2026-09-03"}
