SUMMARY:Ukrainian Music Initiative Introductions: Ukrainian Classical Music
DESCRIPTION:  \nAbout the Ukrainian Music Initiative \nUkrainian resistance to Russia’s genocidal invasion has inspired the world. Ukrainian culture\, including art\, literature\, design and music\, which for centuries has been suppressed and threatened with elimination\, is a key element of the fight. \nUMI\, a new world-class effort\, was created to elevate Ukrainian classical music to its rightful place in the Western canon and to fill a significant gap in the US’ cultural landscape. This is being accomplished by having skilled and knowledgeable musicians of Ukrainian heritage perform Ukrainian music in accessible venues on a regular basis. \nA collaboration of four independent artists\, UMI consists of contralto Vira Slywotzky\, cellist Valeriya Sholokhova\, and pianists Margarita Rovenskaya and Pavlo Gintov.  All of whom have a longstanding history of commitment to Ukrainian music and are sought after performers in New York City and beyond.  Joining them in their mission are musicologist Leah Batstone and business entrepreneur Alex Gamota. \nUMI is presented by Vira & Friends\, a non-profit corporation under the auspices of the Ukrainian American Educational Center of Boston\, a 501(c)(3).
