hosel. On Sunday, May 21, at 5 p.m., the audience in Haus Oberschlesien, Oktogon, Bahnhofstraße 71, will have the opportunity to get to know the new album “Mrii – Ukrainian Hope” by the pianist Violina Petrychenko, who has been living in Germany for years, and has a Ukrainian background. “Mrii” is the Ukrainian word for “dream”, and so the focus here is on pieces by Ukrainian composers that show a hitherto little-known light, dreamy, romantic and at times melancholic side of Ukrainian music of the 19th and 20th centuries. Tickets cost 20 euros, pupils and students have free entry. The artist will guide you through the program for a better understanding.
The range of composers that the audience hears and whose names are all hardly familiar is surprisingly diverse: from Mykola Lysenko’s “Reverie”, probably inspired by Schumann and Chopin, to Levko Revutskyi’s piano music, which is obviously influenced by French impressionism and jazz – each piece has a surprise in store.
Violina Petrychenko is a trained musicologist and pianist. She has given an unbelievable number of concerts in Germany, Holland, France, Austria, Spain, Italy, the Czech Republic and Ukraine and has been heard several times on Deutschlandradio Kultur as well as on radio and television MDR and WDR. She has received numerous awards, grants and awards and has recorded four more CDs dedicated to Ukrainian composers of the 19th and 20th centuries. A very worthwhile concert visit.
