On September 27 at 3:00 PM, we invite you to a concert in Lutsk — “Musical Diplomacy of Ukraine. One Year — 20 Countries, 4 Continents,” performed by pianist, scholar, and ethnomusicologist Taras Filenko.

This will be more than just a concert at Korsaks’ Museum of Contemporary Ukrainian Art. It will be an artistic journey through centuries of Ukrainian musical culture — from Baroque and Romanticism to modern explorations and contemporary interpretations of our musical heritage.

The programme will feature works by Dmytro Bortnianskyi, Mykola Lysenko, Yakiv Stepovyi, Lev Revutskyi, Fedir Yakymenko, Viktor Stepurko, Myroslav Skoryk, and others.

Taras Filenko is a renowned Ukrainian musicologist, ethnomusicologist, educator, and performer. For more than forty years, he has worked in the fields of music history, ethnomusicology, and musical performance, combining research, teaching, and concert activities. As a pianist, organist, and choral conductor, Taras Filenko has performed across Europe and North America, consistently promoting Ukrainian musical heritage and the works of contemporary Ukrainian composers.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Taras Filenko has held benefit concerts and lectures, introducing Ukrainian culture to international audiences and raising funds for humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Ukrainian music performed by Filenko has been heard at concert and academic venues in New York, Pittsburgh, Florida, North and South Carolina, at Duke University and UNC Chapel Hill, as well as at diplomatic missions in the United States, India, and Indonesia.
