ALEXANDER SHEREMETA and his Orchestra
As Performed by POLTAVA DANCE ENSEMBLE


Alexander Sheremeta’s interest in Ukrainian National Folk Songs and Dances began at
an early age while studying this field of music at the Ukrainian Reading Society of
Montreal, more commonly known as “Prosvita”’. His unusual interpretation of these
Songs and Dances is notably displayed in this recording as the orchestra has success-
fully blended “The Modern Sound” with “The Old Time Melodies”. The public accept-
ance of this orchestra’s interpretations and arrangements has taken the orchestra to
numerous tours throughout Canada and the United States, climaxing these tours with
a performance at The New York World’s Fair in 1964.


The Poltava Dance Ensemble had been formed in 1960 by The Canadian Ukrainian
Youth Association of Montreal. Their aim is to preserve and teach the culture and tra-
ditions which they have inherited. The Po!tava Dance Ensemble, under the choreography
of Ballet Master Victor Hladun, have excelled in this field of Ukrainian National Dances
as they have appeared on many local television programs climaxing these performances
by winning the annual Grand Prix Award at Montreal’s Place des Arts. This ensemble
consisting of approximately 50 dancers, teen-agers all, has toured the larger Canadian
cities, leaving their audiences with an unforgettable memory of true Ukrainian National
Dances performed to an extremely fast tempo by seemingly tireless performers. Their
intricate steps and patterns as devised by their choreographer, Mr. Victor Hladun, has
won them many a standing ovation throughout their tours.


This combination of The Poltava Dance Ensemble and Alexander Sheremeta’s orchestra
has done much to enhance the interest recently displayed in the field of Ukrainian
National Folk Dances.
