Someone put together a collection "The Global 500 Greatest Songs of All Time" and my singing of "Plyve Kacha" is included. I begun to sing KACHA back in the 90s, when we had a trio with Lilia Melnik and Yaryna Horyn in the Cheremosh University Choir. The recording was made in 2001. Then I got information from somewhere that it was the favorite song of Mykhailo Zhyzniewski, one of the first people killed on the Euromaidan. The song turned into a lament, a requiem. And that's why I asked Oleksandr Frazé-Frazénko to make a memory video. I am touched that this particular lament song, a song that helps us move through pain and sadness, made it into the collection.
I visualize our singing of joy - when we will finally celebrate the victory. ZAPOVIT of Taras Shevchenko ?

I have been here many times, worked in various projects. There are so many dear people here! People I feel connected and in love with! It was so incredible to see you all after the concert. It felt that Philadelphia is such a home for me. (Although this time I practically spent it in a hotel room, working on the music for the performance ORESTIE )
Thank you,Mary Kalyna, for your story, I am waiting for the book!!! You and I - we didn’t take a selfie. !!! Next time.

Super review for our project SONGS OF WOUNDING!
"Durch die vielschichtige kompositorische Bearbeitung des Ausgangsmaterials und die feinsinnige Interpretationskunst des Ensembles ist eine Musik entstanden, die nicht zurückblickt, sondern die das Moment des Konservierenden mit einer intensiv erfahrbaren Aktualität zu verbinden weiß. Alles klingt fremd, authentisch und dringlich. So sind die Lieder des Verwundens – naheliegenderweise – Lieder des Schmerzes, aber auch des Weiterlebens und des Erneuerns geworden."
