* The event was postponed from October 2

This concert combines the new music and seeks answers (or makes the questions?) on a global scale. Can art be limited to musing about time, space or the nature of things? Such distinctions will only narrow the objects of reflection and destroy their essence. To consider something deeply and from afar at the same time, overcoming the limits of conditional knowledge, is the task of art, which queries to discover and understand its new creation.

«Summa Tempologica» is the name of the project, which denotes the phenomenon of the human way of thinking in music: combination, comprehension, composition. They are often determined by the dynamics with which the past moves towards the modern. Here is the «sum of the logic of time», which, by analogy with Yuriy Andrukhovych’s words, can be observed with «infinitely open potentiality» and checked for correspondence of time (real and relative) by 4 generations of composers: Polish master Witold Lutoslawski, Ukrainian renowned authors Viktor Kaminsky, Mykhailo Shved, Ostap Manulyak and young author Yuriy Pikush. The premiere of the latter’s work is inspired by the Residence at the «Sheptytsky Scholarship», a project of the Sheptytsky Center with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Foundation, which continues the tradition of supporting talented Ukrainians to create new artefacts.
