On a High Note

Music reaches its highest note when it continues to resonate and awaken the souls of listeners even centuries after being written. Such music was given to the entire humankind by outstanding composers: Gaetano Donizetti, Giuseppe Verdi, Gioachino Rossini, Fritz Kreisler, etc. Their music delights, inspires, bothers and soothes, touches the most intimate strings of human nature and gives incredible pleasure. That is why the concert of vocal and violin music is called “On a High Note”. It will be presented by mother and daughter Liliia Vikaruk (soprano) and Solomiia Yakovenko (violin). They will be accompanied by pianists Olena Markevych and Yurii Fomenko, and the concert will be hosted by Liliia Vynnytska.
