Oleg Malan is a Ukrainian tenor with a powerful voice, a deep musical passion, and a bright future ahead. His sound carries the influence of travelling across continents and cultures, giving his performances a distinctive emotional colour and a unique artistic perspective.

Before pursuing music full‑time, Oleg was a professional athlete — a background that shows in his strength, discipline, and the commanding presence of a natural showman. His repertoire spans opera and modern classics, delivered with style, intensity and an energy that captivates audiences.

Oleg has recently been accepted onto a three‑year Classical Music programme at Leeds Conservatoire, marking an exciting new chapter in his development as a performer.

Mariia Petrovska is a charismatic bandura player and singer, and one of the rising stars of Ukrainian music. She combines a complete mastery of the bandura with a pure, emotive voice, making Ukrainian traditional music sound utterly fresh and contemporary, as well as penning her own new songs. Her mesmerising live solo performances frequently draw standing ovations.

Chechelele, pronounced cheh-cheh-leh-leh, is a word from the South African Ndebele language meaning ‘Happy’. Chechelele is a York Based SATB Acapella World Music Choir. Although traditional African rhythms and songs form the core part of their repertoire, Chechelele specialise in singing songs from all around the world. 

Chechelele is a unique, colourful, dynamic and vibrant choir. They entertain thoroughly with their amazing four-part singing, complex rhythms, use of movement, actions, percussion and plenty of ululation. Their repertoire is wide and diverse embracing themes of love, celebration, hymns, freedom struggles with a sprinkling of spirituals and gospel music.
