Obituary for Oksana Bryn

Oksana  Bryn
OKSANA BRYN, born March 9, 1924 in Ukraine, came with her family to the U.S.A. in 1949 and became a U.S. citizen in 1955. A faculty member of MacPhail Center for Music for over four decades, Oksana became Emerita in 2014 and continued teaching to the end of her life. A scholarship in her name was established at MacPhail, and the institution honored her further with the dedication of Studio 212 in her name. For all of her adult life she was also very active in the cultural life of her Ukrainian community.
