This week on Introductions, members of the Chicago area’s Ukrainian community perform music of their home country for piano, violin and voice. 18-year-old pianist Myroslav Mykhailenko is joined by young friends and colleagues with selections by five different Ukrainian composers. Thank you to the Music Institute of Chicago for hosting us at Nichols Concert Hall.

When he was 13, he and his family immigrated to the United States of America, settling in Wood Dale, Illinois. Upon his arrival in the US, he continued his piano studies and won numerous awards from Sejong, Walgreens, and Crain-Maling Young Artists music competitions. He has performed in masterclasses with Marian Hahn, Michael Brown, Shai Wosner, and Logan Skelton.

Sticky Notes: The Classical Music Podcast
While the inspiration for the show today is likely obvious, I’m also very happy to get the chance to share this wonderful music with you, separate from the current horrors going on right now. Here’s a little quiz for you - name a Ukrainian composer. Were you stumped? Well, so are many people by that question. Despite a long line of brilliant composers throughout history, the music of Ukrainian composers has not entered the standard repertoire, except if you consider the contemporary composer Valentin Silvestrov. But Ukrainian music has a long and fascinating history, from the so called Big Three of the 18th and 19th centuries who were heavily influenced by the legendary Austro German composers but wrote in a highly unique style, to the nationalistic and folk inspired music of Lysenko, to the wild experimentation of Lyatoshinsky in the 20th century, all the way to the contemporary era and the post modern work of Silvestrov. Today on the show I’m going to take you through a history of Ukrainian classical music, and all along the way I’ll share the stories and the music of 6 of the most important Ukrainian composers. You’re going to hear some of the most fascinating and touching music around, and you’re going to wonder how it’s possible that you haven’t heard this music before. Join us!
