Shevchenko Foundation's Kobzar Fellowship Reception in Ottawa was held at the National Arts Centre on Sunday March 4, 2012. Fifty invited guests participated in this afternoon of fellowship and celebration of our Ukrainian-Canadian culture and heritage, highlighted with the melodic voices of Ottawa's own AKORD Male Chorus.

Following their performance, the AKORD Chorus presented the foundation's president Andriy Hladyshevsky, QC with a cheque for $1,515 from the proceeds of their annual Koliada. The highlight of the afternoon was the induction of Irena Bell and Boris Gengalo to the Kobzar Fellowship circle which now numbers 117. All photos were taken by Chrystyna Chudczak.
