Music For All Seasons

“Kyiv Music Fest”, 21-28 september, cultural venues across toen.

Thirteen is not always unlucky! At least the organizers of the thirteenth annual! “Kyiv Music Fest” are about to prove that. This annual festival of classical and contemporary music attracts lots of talented local and international artists to the Ukrainian capital at the beginning of autumm every year for a packed programme of concert, workshops and presentations. The festival was the brainchild of Ivan Karabits, Ukrainian composer, who unfortunately didn`t live long enough to take part in the year’s events. Hence, many concerts are dedicated to the memory of the maestro, among them the premiere perfomance of Bach`s “St.Johann Passion” from the “Berlin Archive”. Highlights of the international guest programme include American well-known singer Patricia Miller, pianist A.Green and Russia composer O.Tchaikovsky. Concert will be held at various venues and are all free jf charge, so you can expect most seats occupied, unless you go well in advance! For detalied programme of the festival call 229-0939.
