Ksenia Stetsenko – "Duma about Home" for Two Violins

Kateryna Pauchenko - violin,
Natalia Martyniuk - violin

"Duma about Home" for two violins is an emotional miniature. Created in the spring of 2022, it is infused with the all-too-familiar sounds of war and a sense of uncertainty that we all recognize. The piece aims to express through music that which words cannot convey. It is like a silent scream inside every Ukrainian, and at the same time, a brief but urgent elevator speech to the world, to draw attention to the fact that the brutal war in Ukraine continues and must be stopped as soon as possible.

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.
