Since 2023\, Violina Petrychenko has joined the quartet as a pianist\, expanding it into a quintet to introduce Ukrainian chamber music to a broader audience. \n\nViolina Petrychenko\, born in Zaporizhzhia\, studied in Kyiv\, Weimar\, Cologne\, and Essen. She has released six albums featuring works by 20th-century Ukrainian composers\, earning multiple Opus Klassik nominations. As the artistic director of the “Sounds of Ukraine” festival and a soloist with the Lviv Philharmonic\, she is passionately dedicated to promoting Ukrainian music worldwide. \nProgram: Piano Quintets by Vasyl Barvinsky and Borys Lyatoshynsky \nThis evening’s program highlights two of Ukraine’s most important composers\, whose music blends national identity with universal emotions. \nVasyl Barvinsky (1888–1963) \nThe Piano Quintet in G minor\, composed around 1912\, is one of the most significant Ukrainian chamber music works of the early 20th century. \n\nThe first movement\, Grave\, quasi sospitando\, sets a dark and searching tone\, filled with expressive lamenting motifs.\nThe second movement\, Allegro non troppo\, contrasts dramatic passages with folk-inspired elements.\nThe final movement\, Prayer\, is a deeply spiritual Adagio\, imbued with solemn beauty.\n\nAfter Barvinsky was arrested by the Soviet regime\, his manuscripts were destroyed. He later reconstructed the quintet from memory—an act of artistic resilience and devotion to his homeland. \nBorys Lyatoshynsky (1895–1968) \nThe Piano Quintet\, Op. 42\, composed in 1942 during Lyatoshynsky’s wartime evacuation\, is often referred to as the “Ukrainian Quintet.” It is a deeply passionate work\, filled with yearning\, hope\, and resilience. Despite the backdrop of war\, the music conveys a sense of inner peace and poetic depth. The four movements—Allegro e poco agitato\, Lento e tranquillo\, Allegro\, and Allegro risoluto—demonstrate Lyatoshynsky’s mastery in balancing drama with lyrical introspection. \nWith the 130th anniversary of Lyatoshynsky’s birth approaching in 2025\, his music is gaining increasing recognition across European concert halls. \n\n\nBuy a ticket
