Ukrainian singer and bandura player Maryna Krut brings the sound and story of her homeland to the Freight. The bandura—a many-stringed instrument with qualities of both lute and zither—anchors her music, carrying traditional melodies into arrangements shaped by jazz and her powerful, expressive voice.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Krut’s role has expanded from performer to witness. She travels to front-line communities to sing for soldiers, then brings what she has seen to audiences abroad, connecting cultural memory with the realities of war. Her concert is both musical and testimonial: a vivid encounter with Ukrainian tradition, resilience and the human experience behind distant headlines.
