The Music This programme of Ukrainian songs showcases the fantastic repertoire of an impressive range of composers who are fast becoming well known, and with good cause. Lysenko, Zherbin, and Stetsenko, among others, are all examples of outstanding song composers, who draw on a rich national history of poetry.
The Artists Ukrainian baritone Andrei Kymach won the 2019 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition, and has since enjoyed great international success. Pianist Llyr Williams, an alumnus of The Queen’s College, Oxford, is known both as an international soloist and collaborator with many leading singers.
