2026 marks the 44th season of the Music and Arts Center of Greene County — the first and only classical music summer concert series in the county, in the beautiful Catskill Mountains of New York.
This year is extra special: we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of our founder, the late, internationally renowned Ukrainian composer Dr. Ihor Sonevytsky.
Join us on July 25 for a heartfelt tribute concert honoring his memory, artistic vision, and enduring legacy. Let’s come together to celebrate the music, the history, and the inspiration he gave to generations.

And just like that the 44th season of the Music and Arts Center of Greene County summer music series has come to an end. We thank all the musicians, performers, members and guests who helped make this season a huge success. Together we listened to the works by Skoryk, Beethoven, Puccini, Debussy, Chopin, Liszt and Silvestrov. We were introduced to works by Theordore Akimenko, Hanna Havrylets and Bohdana Frolyak. We danced, swayed and sang to rhythmic folk music. And we mingled and nibbled on canapes under the bright stars of the nighttime Catskill Mountain skies. We look forward to the 45th season of MAC in July of 2026. And for your listening pleasure- a snippet of our last concert featuring the “Gerdan” folk music ensemble.

Something a bit different- Ukrainian folk music!
We invite you to the final concert of the “Music at Grazhda” Festival on August 23rd at 8 pm, as we honor Ukraine’s Independence Day with a stirring concert: “The Soul of Ukraine” featuring the renowned ensemble Gerdan – Kaleidoscope of World Music and celebrated violinist/vocalist Solomia Gorokhivska, Gerdan brings Ukraine’s vibrant folk music to life through original arrangements that blend tradition with modern flair. Named after the intricate Carpathian gerdan beaded necklaces, their performances are a dazzling celebration of cultural heritage. Solomia Gorokhivska infuses every performance with passion and artistry, drawing on her extensive career with major ensembles like the National Philharmonic. Grammy winner Andrei Pidkivka brings the soul of Ukraine to the stage with his mastery of ethnic flutes, featured in symphonies and projects like HBO’s Chernobyl. Jan Knutson, a versatile guitarist, adds a dynamic edge with his blend of jazz, classical, and folk influences. Gerdan has captivated audiences at the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, and festivals nationwide. This special program highlights Ukrainian folk songs and instrumentals, celebrating its rich culture and resilient spirit.
