The Francis Skaryna Belarusian Library and Museum is a place around which various cultural communities of the Belarusian diaspora gather. One of them is the folk group Vir, led by the folklorist Evelina Shchadryna, whose performances have already become an integral part of Belarusian cultural life in Britain.
If you have not yet had the opportunity to hear and see these outstanding singers, we invite you to watch a video recently recorded in the Library garden. In it, the group speaks about the traditions of celebrating St George’s Day in Belarus.
And if you would like to join the singing circle yourselves — we would be delighted to welcome you!
