Carol of the Bells! — SplenDoor to Ukraine

Pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi presents the 36th instalment of SplenDoor to Ukraine at Splendor Amsterdam. “Carol of the Bells!” brings Ukrainian Christmas folk songs into an intimate concert setting, with Maryana Golovchenko on voice, Bart de Vrees on percussion and Baryshevskyi at the piano.

The programme draws on the winter singing traditions of Ukraine. Splendor introduces the concert through the old belief, shared in several European cultures, that singing and dancing before the New Year could drive away evil spirits. Here that seasonal tradition takes musical form through folk songs and the interplay of voice, percussion and piano. A song-by-song programme has not been announced.

The concert takes place on Sunday 27 December 2026 at 16:00 at Splendor, Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat 116, 1011 LX Amsterdam. The venue’s standard opening policy is 45 minutes before a concert, corresponding to 15:15 for this performance; the bar is open.

Regular tickets cost €15. CJP/Stadspas tickets and the listed member discount ticket cost €10; student tickets cost €5. Choose the appropriate category in the official ticket shop. See the original event page for current programme and booking information.
