I am happy that I can finally talk about the victory of the team! “Friends of Music” – my yet another long-awaited project won from powerful candidates to  the Grant 2020 of the Ukrainian Cultural Fund! And I want to introduce it – “The Chamber Ensemble of Nota Bene Chamber Group. Masterpieces of Ukrainian music of the 70-90s.”

In June-August 2020, we are working hard on it, and at the end of August we will present the publication of an art book with two CDs, with music performed by NB Chamber Group.

The goal of the project is the promotion of Ukrainian academic music of the 70-90s – a period that is almost unknown in the cultural history of the country. The implementation of the project will contribute to the integration of Ukraine into the world cultural space and the enrichment of the Ukrainian and world music paradigm.

The project presents the works of thirteen famous Ukrainian composers V. Silvestrov, A. Kiva, Y. Gubanov, V. Polevaya, L. Grabovsky, A. Schetinsky, V. Godzyatsky, A. Grinberg, V. Baley, V. Runchak, I. Karabits, V. Bibik, E. Stankovich to the performed by new generation musicians, Laureates of international and All-Ukrainian competitions G. Lopatinsky, A. Pavlov, A. Poludenny, Yu. Nemirovsky, M. Grinchenko, I. Gritsishin and Guest soloist Inna Galatenko.

The ideological inspirer and compiler of the collection is the outstanding Ukrainian composer, Laureate of Prize named by Shevchenko  Victoria Polevaya:

“In my opinion, the 70-90s of the XX century is a very interesting period in the development of the Ukrainian composer school, because near to the destruction of the aesthetic paradigm imposed by the Soviet rules, the rebellious scheme brought into the artistic situation by the сreate of the artists sixties is breaking up. A new aesthetic an ideal that is not related to resistance to social pressure, a new freedom of acceptance of peace arises come up and come up manifested in the service of harmony in various forms and in the fight against chaos. So the spirit of the time of the 70-90s finds a new constant in the coordinate system of the macrocosm, but not a separate system. “

The project manager is the manager of Nota Bene Chamber Group and the founder of NGO “Friends of Music” Elena Perederii. The Project Manager – Daria Sipigina (S. T. ART Foundation).

The producer of the project is the founder of S.T. ART Foundation Tatyana Shved (Bezkoravaina):

“The implementation of the project is a positive signal to the world community about the existence of a little-known, but powerful and influential period in the modern music of Ukraine.”

The final stage of the project is an online presentation will be held with the participation of composers participating in the project. The project is implemented with the support of the Ukrainian Cultural Fund.
