This film documents a performance by the Ukrainian folk song and dance ensemble Tavria from Crimea at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield. It was made by the Ukrainian Video Archives Society (UVAS) and is in colour with sound. The languages of the film are English and Ukrainian. No credit to UVAS. Date stamped 10.04.89. Some flicking noises affect the sound but better sound than UVAS_0017. Filmed from the theatre floor near the front row, on left looking towards the stage so more focus on close ups and views showing orchestra. Includes footage of the orchestra set up and stage before the performance begins. Introduced by an unidentified man, possibly a representative of Derbyshire County Council. Performances are seamless and blend one into another. They feature Ukrainian folk dance and songs. The style is refined folk - ballet-inspired dance and melodic singing rather than raw folk. The performers are all adults. The concert finishes at 1 hr 24 mins on the tape and shows the audience giving a standing ovation. The end of the film shows some of the Tavria orchestra speaking to guests and audience members including members of UVAS. The film ends at 1 hr 27 mins 39 secs. File is 1hr 46 mins 53 secs.
