  • SVI 620 Spadina Avenue Toronto, ON, M5S 2H4 Canada (map)

Catch GANNA from Ukraine live with an epic concert and panel chat that's all about fresh sounds and stories.

Luminato and SVI present GANNA for an intimate evening at INSTITUT (SVI Institute).

The night begins at 6:30 PM with a conversation between GANNA and Mark Marczyk (Lemon Bucket Orkestra, Balaklava Blues, INSTITUT), exploring the intersections of folk, technology, war, and identity. At 7:30 PM, GANNA takes the stage for a solo live set.

"The talent—even magic—in musicology, composition, and vocals that flows through her in so many different ways is extraordinary" – London Jazz News (UK)

GANNA is a Ukrainian singer, composer, and producer based in Berlin. Since 2013 she has been researching and reimagining ancient folklore from her homeland. Today, she is considered "one of the most impressive singers and musicians on the European jazz and world music scene" (Ö1 Radio, Austria).

Her latest album HOME, by her ethno-jazz ensemble, was released in November 2022 on BERTHOLD records and was celebrated by the music press as "Album of the Year" (DLF Kultur radio, DE) and "Jazz Highlight of the Year" (BR radio, DE).

Her solo debut album KUPALA was released by BERTHOLD records in October 2023 and received widespread praise: "These are sounds of enchanting beauty" (BR-Klassik radio, DE). KUPALA was included in the "Best Ukrainian Albums 2023" lists by Slukh.Media and MIXMAG, and was named "New European Sound 2024" by LIVEUROPE.

Later, JOHNNY WESTCOAST takes the room deeper — a late-night journey through Ukrainian and global electronic sounds, moving between deep, melodic, and underground energy.
