Ambarchi’s compositions are characterized by their slow-building intensity, textural complexity, and a focus on sustained tones and harmonic resonance.

The West End Cultural Centre is a long-standing community arts hub located in Winnipeg’s West End neighborhood. Originally built as a Ukrainian Orthodox church in 1913 – St. Nicholas Ukrainian Catholic Church – it was repurposed as a cultural centre in 1986 following community advocacy to prevent demolition. The building retains many of its original architectural features including stained glass windows and high ceilings. It serves as a multi-disciplinary venue hosting performances encompassing music, theatre, dance, spoken word, and visual arts; prioritizing accessibility and support for local artists alongside national and international touring acts.
