The Music and Art Center of Greene County, the first and oldest classical music summer concert series in the region, offers an opportunity to hear outstanding musicians perform in the architecturally unique Grazhda hall. An integral part of the Ukrainian cultural complex built around St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church, the Grazhda is situated in the beautiful natural setting of the Catskills in the Hunter area, a region that has experienced a remarkable growth in cultural awareness and new opportunities.

Established in 1983 by composer and musicologist Dr. Ihor Sonevytsky, the Music and Art Center has become an established presence in the region and on the Ukrainian cultural scene in general.

Among eminent artists who have performed at the Grazhda in the past were Metropolitan Opera bass Paul Plishka, pianist Alexander Slobodyanik, violinist Oleh Krysa, composer Myroslav Skoryk, Kyiv Opera tenor Anatoliy Solovyanenko and soprano Maria Stefiuk, as well as the Leontovych String Quartet.
