I have put up a poster of the concert with links to scores of a goodly
number of the songs performed, at
http://www.torban.org/bandura-downtown/
for those brave lutenistic individuals who are unafraid of Slavic languages
(the final item was sung in English).

The New York Bandura Ensemble, Ukrainian Wave, a Community Cultural
Initiative of the Center for Traditional Music and Dance, and the
Ukrainian
Museum present:
- Soldiers' Songs -
with Julian Kytasty and Friends (Oleg Dubson, Ilya Temkin, Roman Turovsky
and Valery Zhmud).
This special Armistice Day concert, linked to the Museum's photographic
exhibit The Ukrainian Insurgent Army, is dedicated to the young Ukrainians
who fought on the Eastern Front of the Great War (1914-1918), conscripted
into the armies of the Tsar and the Austro-Hungarian Emperor. Their songs
tell the eternal story of the soldier: marching songs, the girl left
behind,
barrack room bravado and the stark reality of the front lines.
