Call for Proposals: Ukrainian Concert December 3, 2023, Curious Comedy
margaret....@gmail.com
Hello performers!
Classical Revolution PDX is inviting musicians to submit a performance proposal for our Concert of Ukrainian Music on Sunday, December 3, 2023, 7–9pm! Our theme is music composed in the territory that is now Ukraine, or by Ukrainians living anywhere. This includes classical religious music, classical music rooted in folk tradition, art song, other classical music, music that crosses genre boundaries (e.g. blending classical with jazz), and music of all eras. You will be appearing alongside the headliner act of Valentyn Lysenko and Inna Kovtun.
