The purpose of the project is a mutual exchange of musical experiences, and its effect – a common concert programme based on folklore of the eastern Carpathians. The idea stems from the long cooperation (since 1993) and friendship between the groups, as well as from Orchestra's fascination with richness of the Hutsul folk culture and with outstanding talent of Roman Kumłyk.

The programme "Hutsul Music" consists of almost 20 tunes from various parts of the Hutsul region: around Werchowyna, Sokołów, Szepot, Zamogórów, and Kosmacz. Among them there are songs performed at festivities and full of mysticism and dignity – wedding "łatkanie" and carols; as well as ancient "hucułka", "trisunka" and Hutsul "zbójnicki" or "arkan" played many times by both groups. The Orchestra presents its interpretation of Hutsul music, with the support of Hutsul musicians (among them Roman Kumłyk), and with solo parts on various pipes (dvoyanka, telenka, sopilkas) and violin.

Recorded at ACK UMCS "Chatka Żaka" in Lublin, Poland, on Apr 24, 2005.
