Bohdana Pivnenko&Dmytro Tavanets
Famous “Ex-libris” Havrylets, an epochal sonata by Skoryk, and one renowned piece each by Sylvestrov, Stankovych, Kolodub, Kosenko, Meitus, and Stetsenko: this is how the Ukrainian violin scene is embodied as widely as possible in the program of performers Bohdana Pivnenko and Dmytro Tavanets.
The selected golden edition of contemporary chamber music will appear as a combination of melancholic openness, simplicity of harmonies and rhythms; radical complexity, unlimited saturation of texture and techniques; as well as virtuosity and, at the same time, deep feelings’ expression, and, hence, quite a challenge for a violin and piano duet.
