I am honoured and excited to have been a part of Ancestors & Elders, produced by the Ukrainian Shumka Dancers. Working closely with my brother Mark Klopoushak, Mike Romaniak, Anders Hunter (of Eya Hey Nakoda), Barry Bilinsky, and Joe Hoffman to co-compose, co-arrange, perform, and record the music for this 45-minute ballet, I humbly hope that we created something unique, honest, and special.
