Lesia Korol – festival personality 

Lesia, how are you looking forward to your concert at the Smetana Days Festival?
I am very much looking forward to the Czech Republic and Pilsen. It is a great honour for me to perform at the 45th Smetana Days Festival.

How would you introduce the bandura to the audience?
Bandura is a unique Ukrainian national instrument which can combine two ways of performing - both instrumental playing and singing.It is very much like Irish and Scottish harp. Bandura has 65 strings, sounds soft and charming.

The bandura is not a common musical instrument in the Czech Republic. Why should listeners definitely visit your concert?
Bandura is an amazing instrument, I would recommend the concert to anyone who wants to expand their horizons and discover new musical colours.
