Living Traditions Folk Ensemble

Living Traditions Folk Ensemble performs folk dances and songs of the Carpatho-Rusyn immigrants who founded our Eparchy.  The group not only performs, but also offers audience members the chance to get off their feet and join the fun themselves.  The experience offers visitors of all ages a chance to learn and participate in these folk dances!  

Cathy & Tom Katrenich created Living Traditions Folk Ensemble to keep alive the dances, songs, and culture of their Carpatho-Rusyn, Polish, and Croatian ancestors, and to share these with their children and others.   Cathy and Tom, and their three children, have performed Eastern European folk dances with multiple groups, touring both in the US and Eastern Europe. They have attended many ethnic dance workshops and festivals, and have studied with expert ethnographers and choreographers from various ethnic regions throughout Eastern Europe. 

Living Traditions Folk Ensemble offers performances, dance workshops, and cultural education programs, as well as collaborative multicultural projects with other groups.  You'll love the opportunity to experience Carpatho-Rusyn culture through music and dance.  Don't miss out!
