Ukrainian Cinema Music

Experience a luminous voyage through Ukrainian cinema at the Lviv National Philharmonic, a venue proudly named after composer Myroslav Skoryk—whose music shines in this evening’s program. Presented by the virtuoso FUEGO Orchestra, the concert assembles a stellar line‑up: Nazariy Platyuk on violin, Serhiy Kurdytskyi on bandoneon, Dmytro Tretyak on double bass, and Petro Dovgan on piano. Together, they re‑imagine the soundtracks that shaped a generation, breathing new life into iconic melodies from beloved films such as “The Lost Diploma,” “Chervona Ruta,” “Shchedryk,” and “Vysoky Pereval.” The program is a dialogue between folk tradition and cinematic artistry. Listen as the orchestra renders the haunting folk tune “Oh, whose horse is standing” (from “The Lost Diploma”) and the gentle “Oh, there are two oak trees on the mountain.” Step into the romantic world of “Marichka” by Step Sabadash, the timeless “Shchedryk” by Mykola Leontovych, and the lyrical “Kyiv Waltz” and “How can I not love you, my Kyiv” by Ihor Shamo. The evening continues with Volodymyr Ivasyuk’s tender “Why do flowers have eyes,” Myroslav Skoryk’s “My Love” and “Draw me a night” (both with words by Mykola Petrenko), Svyatoslav Vakarchuk’s passionate “Mukachevo” and “The Moment,” and Ukrainian folk classics like “Oh, the red viburnum in the meadow” and “Melody” from “High Pass.” “Ukrainian Cinema Music” is more than a concert—it is a heartfelt reunion with the soundscape of film, a celebration of Ukraine’s cultural depth, and a testament to the enduring beauty and power of its music. Join us for an unforgettable evening that will stir memories, inspire new connections, and honor the magical ties between film and melody.
