United On Stage - November 2026

Centennial Concert Hall
555 Main St, Winnipeg, MB
November 1, 2026 - 2 p.m. 

United on Stage: Rusalka and Yevshan in Concert is a powerful celebration of Ukrainian Canadian culture, artistry, and community - bringing together two of Canada’s premier Ukrainian dance ensembles on one stage.

This special Winnipeg performance unites Rusalka Ukrainian Dance Ensemble (Winnipeg) with Yevshan Ukrainian Folk Ballet Ensemble (Saskatoon) in a landmark interprovincial collaboration. Audiences will experience a dynamic 90-minute program featuring athletic virtuosity, expressive storytelling, and vibrant traditional and contemporary choreography performed by both ensembles.

The concert builds on a strong artistic relationship between Rusalka and Yevshan, including their acclaimed joint appearance at Canada’s National Ukrainian Festival in 2022. United on Stage transforms that connection into a full co production, highlighting collaboration, cultural exchange, and shared heritage across the Prairies. A highlight of the evening will be a shared finale, as dancers from both ensembles come together on stage to perform the iconic Hopak, symbolizing unity, friendship, and the enduring strength of Ukrainian culture.
