Program
The most convenient instrument to start learning — and perhaps the most complicated for a master at the highest level. Yes, these words are often used to describe the piano as it can replace the entire orchestra, and stay fragile due to the ability to express the most personal things… As well as it can be used with prepared strings, glissandi, maintaining complex rhythmic constructions and impressing with virtuosity.
So how will these and other possibilities of the piano be tested in 4 hands? How will performers be simultaneously playing also on percussion instruments? How will they use whistling by handmade “nightingales” in the program? This is where the name of the project “extended possibilities” comes from: music of the 19th-21st centuries will be played, as it was created with a fierce desire to push the boundaries of sound and visual perception.

“Ukraine. Muses Are Not Silent” is a concert series in support of Ukrainian musicians during the russian armed aggression. Online concerts will become a platform for the uniting of the Ukrainian music community, as many musicians participating in these concert programs have become internally displaced people and have found shelter in Lviv.

We provide a free opportunity for the whole world to watch concerts on the official YouTube channel of the Lviv National Philharmonic. At the same time, we suggest our listeners from abroad make charitable donations to Ukrainian musicians who have stayed here in Ukraine.
