Honoring Musical Legends
March is not just about Shevchenko; it’s a celebration of many musical milestones. We will honor remarkable anniversaries and birthdays of influential composers and musicians. Here are some key events to look forward to:
- 75th anniversary celebrations for Volodymyr Ivasyuk and Valeriy Matyukhin
- 70th anniversary of Vasyl Kryachko
- Birthdays of classical giants Johann Sebastian Bach and Astor Piazzolla
One standout event is the anniversary concert titled “Mission”, set to take place in the Column Hall on March 3. This exciting program will showcase selected violin works that beautifully reflect the unique intonations and rich rhythms of Ukrainian ethnic traditions, spanning from the 18th to the 21st century. Concert master Kyrylo Stetsenko will make history by performing Vladimir Ivasyuk’s pieces for violin and piano for the very first time on the Philharmonic stage, using notes gifted by the composer’s family.
“It’s time to recognize that Volodya was not only a genius of pop music; he truly soared as a creator of high academic music,” Kyrylo Stetsenko emphasized. This profound statement reminds us of the diverse talents that emerge when passion intertwines with creativity. Just think—how many of us have our own hidden talents waiting to take flight?
