Larissa has thrilled audiences as geographically distant as her native Ukraine, Western Europe and around Australia. Through song & music, Larissa will bring the spirit of a nation to the people of Deniliquin through the traditional folk music of Ukraine.

Larissa joins us from the Riverina Conservatorium of Music in Wagga Wagga where she is a vocal teacher & choir director. Larissa is a qualified concert performer, soloist soprano, music lecturer and choir conductor.
