Harpsichord entertainments of the 18th century

On Wednesday, September 28, Ukrainian harpsichordists Hanna Ivaniushenko and Olga Shadrina-Lychak will present the harpsichord music of the 18th century.

The musician’s performance will feature works by leading European masters of the 18th century: Johann August Just, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Michał Kleofas Oginsky.

Olga Shadrina-Lychak told about her participation in the project:

“Music, performing and listening to it are becoming an effective tool today, which makes it possible to reflect the harsh objective reality. To embody and express a crazy palette of emotions that are raging in the Ukrainian space and overwhelm each of us. Do not despair, lose hope and hate. In the end, find inner-courage and direct your forces to where you can be most effective in winning and strengthening Ukrainian self-identity”
