# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Songwriters Showcase featuring Viktoriia Slyvka and Kristina Castaneda
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Thu, 19 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Songwriter Showcase encourages the creation and sharing of original music by regional singer songwriters.

Viktoriia is a Ukrainian bandura player sharing intimate, tradition-rooted performances. Her music blends the resonant voice of the bandura with heartfelt vocals, creating a calm, deeply personal atmosphere. Carrying both cultural memory and quiet strength, her performances feel less like concerts and more like shared moments.

Kristina holds a deep reverence for the music embedded in everyday life - the clank of metal hooks on a flagpole, the whistle of a faucet, the thrum of a ceiling fan - believing the ordinary to be extraordinary and inherently musical. For Kristina, music is the shared fire that brings humans together in a shared experience, in a way that nothing else can.

The event is free and open to the public, though donations are greatly appreciated to support the ongoing efforts to bring regional talent to the Center’s stage.

Special thanks to our generous sponsors, Mark and Mary Ellen.
