March 29th, 1998: The anniversary of her death 25 years ago.
April 4th, 1953: The anniversary of her birth 70 years ago.
Energy, enthusiasm, and joy of life exuded from Kvitka boundlessly in all of her projects, goals and beliefs. Her artistry, attention to her craft and the results of her efforts exemplify these truths. Her deep love and passion for her family, ideals and culture inspired her to create a lasting legacy in her projects of love presented to the Ukrainian People. “Kvitka: Songs of Ukraine” and “Kvitka Two Colors” have lived on in the souls of the proud Ukrainians who truly heard her, identify with the indomitable spirit of and with which she sang and have come to emblazon her performances as exemplary of this great culture.
Having known Kvitka and all of the paths she had taken throughout her life, I continue to be inspired by the elevated and evolved HUMAN that I knew. Such great performances as hers could not be possible were it not for the strong, steady, loving humanity she possessed.
Great art comes by no accident. The same is true for great people who are driven to greatness by their history, their environment, their talents, challenges, and dreams. And their love; always with and of which Kvitka Cisyk sang.
