Alisa Formaziuk – "Fire Flower" for Violin, Piano, Organ, and Timpani

Iryna Levinska - violin, Mykhailo Hrynets - piano, Mark Novakovych - organ, Yuriy Oliynyk - timpani

"Fire Flower" was composed in February 2024 for an unusual instrumental ensemble: violin, piano, organ, and timpani. The intention behind this work was not to showcase the technical capabilities of the instruments but to create beautiful music that would leave a lasting impression on the listener's memory. "Fire Flower" is a metaphor interpreted as a "source of pain." This piece was written during the period of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which inspired its title.

About the Project
Music by young Lviv composers, written during the full-scale war, sounds like the voice of youth who live and reflect, dream, fight, and continue to create.
The concert of student composers is a continuation of the "Music of Young Composers" project, which started in 2020 at the Lviv Organ Hall. As part of the strategy to promote Ukrainian classical music, Ukrainian Live, in collaboration with the Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy and the Lviv Organ Hall, the project introduces young artists and presents their work.
This is music on the edge of time. A reflection of the present and a temporary escape into a parallel reality, it is a chronicle of the war intertwined with memories from peaceful life and dreams of victory.
Project Curators:
Taras Demko, Ivan Ostapovych – directors of the Lviv Organ Hall
Ostap Manulyak, Bohdana Frolyak – composers, associate professors at the Department of Composition of the Mykola Lysenko Lviv National Music Academy.
