Myroslav Skoryk Lviv National Philharmonic renews concert activity by launching a series of digital chamber concerts “Ukraine–2022. Muses Are Not Silent” 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.

Charitable help for musicians in Ukraine

On March 25, there will be a concert of chamber instrumental music of the 16th–18th centuries by composers from Ukraine, Poland, Italy. Renaissance works by Domenico Gabrieli, baroque music by Stanisław Sylwester Szarzyński, Antonio Vivaldi and early classical sonatas by Dmytro Bortnyansky and Maxim Berezovsky will outline three centuries of European music.

The instrumental music of Ukrainians Dmytro Bortnyansky and Maksym Berezovsky will be performed in the context of works by composers from Italy and Poland. Clavier and violin sonatas will demonstrate the integration of our national music into European culture, because, having started their artistic career in the musical environment of Ukraine, Bortniansky and Berezovsky graduated from the Bologna Academy, so they have become an integral part of European tradition. Unfortunately, the fact of Ukrainian composers working in the russian empire allows russians to consider them russian authors. However, the truth from is that for a long time the russian empire exported talented artists from Ukraine, who, as a result, raised the level of russian culture abroad. So, with this concert, we show the affiliation of Ukrainian musicians to European art and remind us of the true origins of the annexed Russian culture.
