History
[edit]Kyiv Music Fest is an annual international music festival held in Kyiv, Ukraine. The festival was first held in 1990. It was the brainchild of the Ukrainian composer Ivan Karabyts, who was the festival's musical director from 1990 to 2001.[1] The co-founders of the festival were the Ministry of Culture of Ukraine and the National Union of Composers of Ukraine.[2]
Karabyts was succeeded by the Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk, who served as music director from 2002 to 2005, and again from 2013 to 2019. The composer Ivan Nebesnyy directed the festival from 2006 to 2012; since 2020, its director has been the Ukrainian composer Ihor Shcherbakov.[citation needed]
The festival is held annually in late September to early October. The festival, which features contemporary works by composers of all nationalities, aims to promote Ukrainian musicians.[3]
The main venues of the festival have included the National Opera of Ukraine, the National Music Conservatory of Ukraine, the National Organ and Chamber Music Hall of Ukraine (St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Cathedral), the Kyiv Conservatory, the Lysenko Column Hall of the National Philharmonic of Ukraine, and the Kyiv House of Scientists of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.[4]
