90 years since the Union of Ukrainian Professional Musicians was founded in 1934 in Lviv. The generation of musicians that began to form in the late 1920s brought together the best professional artists and laid the foundations for the musical life of Galicia. The program of works by the five members of the Union will reflect a retrospective of the long tradition of the concept of “school”.
