The Ukrainian Musicians Association (UMA) was founded as a registered non-profit organization to preserve, maintain and honor past and present musicians. The association’s mandate also serves to provide information and resources to current active musicians who have an interest in maintaining traditional Ukrainian Music.
The legacy of our music has been passed down to our generation to ensure it continues to be recognized as not only a source as not only a source of entertainment to millions of people, but to our heritage, to be maintained and not forgotten. We must preserve and protect this legacy for future generations, which is one of the major goals of the association.
