Nyckelharpa and Harpsichord

Saturday 13.08.2022 / 18:00

Концертний зал Людкевича

150–300

Program

Nyckelharpa is one of the Swedish traditional instruments. The earliest illustration of a nyckelharpa is considered to be an image of two musicians playing this instrument in the Shchelunge Church on the island of Gotland. It dates back to around 1350. The image of a nyckelharpa is also found in the Cappellina di Palazzo Pubblici in the Italian city of Siena, which dates back to 1408.

In the program, the performers will combine apparently distant instruments, the nyckelharpa, which is still widely used in Scandinavian traditional music today, and the harpsichord, which has become a kind of symbol of aristocratic and refined baroque music.

The concert will feature the works of Italian early baroque composers Giovanni Pandolfi and Giovanni Battista Fontana, composers of the high baroque era (Arcangelo Corelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Händel and Georg Philipp Telemann). Olena Yeremenko and Hanna Ivanyushenko will also introduce the listeners to a sonata by Swedish composer Olof Åhlström.

“Ukraine–2022. 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.
