BRIEFS

**ARTIST DIES ON STAGE**
Kyiv. The conductor of the Ukrainian National Opera, Oleh
Riabov, died suddenly from a heart attack during an opera
rehearsal of "Cavalleria Rusticana". The distinguished
musician had worked in the national opera for over 30 years.
On March 22nd, the opera theater paid homage to this
well-known artist with a performance of Verdi's Requiem
which was performed instead of the planned opera program.
--Yaroslav Davydovsky, UAM.
**WORLD BANK GRANT**
Lviv. The World Bank will allot a grant totaling 590 thousand
dollars during a three-month period for the restoration of
five buildings in the historic part of Lviv. According to
statistics provided by the Mayor's office, sixty-six
architectural monuments in Lviv require full restoration.
--Vysokyj Zamok.
**ICON COLLECTION RESTORED**
Ivano-Frankivsk. Artist Mykola Kanius along with students of
the Art-Graphics Department of Prykarpatskyj University have
restored a collection of icons dating from the 17th-19th
centuries. This collection, which presently belongs to the
Ivano-Frankivsk Regional Museum, was saved from total
destruction during the post-war period when churches in
Halychyna were completely closed down. Many of the restored
icons depict local professional and primitivist styles
representative of the various iconography schools in Kosiv,
Rohatyn and Dolyna.
--Uriadovyj Kuriyer.
**SPIVAKOV'S "VIRTUOSI" IN THE CAPITAL**
Kyiv. "The Virtuosi of Moscow" under the direction of
Volodymyr Spivakov will collaborate with the Italian choir
Santa-Cecilia and soloists from Poland, Germany, and the
United States in a concert performance of Mozart's Requiem.
The performance will take place on April 22nd at the
Ukrainian National Opera.
--Anushavan Mesropian, UAM.
**VARIATION OF STYLE '96**
Zaporizhia. The aroma of French perfumes greeted the spring
season in this industrial center of Eastern Ukraine. An
atmosphere of European charm dominated the Glinka Concert Hall
with a theatrical fashion show "Variation of Style '96" where
models from Kyiv, Zaporizhia, and the Kharkiv filial of Slava
Zaytseva's House of Fashion participated.
--Holos Ukrayiny.

MUSIC
-----
**RICERCARE**
Ivano-Frankivsk. A recital presenting the works of two young
composers Andrij Lehkyj and Vitalij Manyk took place in the
Ivano-Frankivsk music college on March 27th.
The concert, an unusual attraction for Ivano-Frankivsk, was
entitled "An Evening of Avant-Garde". The event was at the
same time a presentation of a newly-formed ensemble of new
music "Ricercare" (from the Italian "to search" from which
originates the musical term "ricercare", a polyphonic form
of the early baroque period).
The most impressive compositions were presented by Andrij
Lehkyj "Obiter dictum" for flute, clarinet, trombone, and
percussion, "Double Fly" for two violins, and an unexpected
folk piece "Song" for four voices, 2 violins, cello, and
piano.
--Pavlo Hrechka, UAM.
**HOROWITZ'S LAUREATES TOUR AMERICA**
New York. The winners of the First International Competition
of Young Pianists dedicated to the memory of Volodymyr
Horowitz (see UAM Volume 1, Issue 17) were invited to the
United States for a series of concert performances. Among the
invited participants were the competition's head jury member,
composer and pianist Ivan Karabits, as well as laureates of
the first and second prizes, Oleksij Yemtsov and Oleksij
Koltakov. They will begin their regional concert tour in major
art centers including New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC
and other cities.
--Holos Ukrayiny.
**MYKHAILO BRYLYNSKY**
Lviv. An evening dedicated to the 100th birthday anniversary
celebration of well-known Ukrainian employer and owner of the
only Ukrainian "Bell Foundry" in Halychyna, Mykhailo
Brylynsky, took place on March 22nd in the People's House.
The solemn evening was organized by the "Prosvita"
Organization, Shevchenko Scientific Society, and the Brylynsky
family. The program included performances by Lviv musicians
and the Lviv chamber choir "Gloria". Those present also had
the opportunity to hear musical performances by members of the
Brylynsky family: Bohdan (violin), Maksym (diplomate of the
International Competition of Young Violinists Bohodar
Kotorovych), Halyna Brylynsky-Blazhkevch (laureate of the
All-Ukrainian Competition of Pianists named after Mykola
Lysenko).
Among the foundry's products included a bell for St. George's
Cathedral in Lviv, bas-reliefs of Taras Shevchenko and Markian
Shashkevych, and memorial statues. Mykhailo Brylynsky was
murdered by the NKVD in 1941.
--Anthony Potoczniak, UAM.
STAGE
-----
**ART BEREZILLIA '96**
Kyiv. The Fifth International Festival of Experimental
Theaters "Art Berezillia '96" commenced on March 27th, also
observed throughout the world as International Theater Day.
This year's festival, which features play performances,
workshops, and exhibitions, is dedicated to the theme of
"creative collaboration and the problems of theater
synthesis".
The festival began with a performance by the Ukrainian
Spiritual Theater "Voskresinnya" and will conclude with a
"festival within a festival" with the production of "Ecology
of the Soul" which raises the issues of individuality in
extreme situations.
Difficulties accompanying the festival, according to organizer
Sergey Proskuryn, should not influence the great variety of
this year's festival repertoire: the Polish theater of "Eight
day", Saint Petersburg "Litsediyi", and Japanese theater.
Numerous theatrical premieres and art exhibitions should
present theater-goers with a bouquet of diverse impressions
and pleasant moments.
--Holos Ukrayiny.
**VADYM PYSARYEV'S BENEFIT CONCERT**
Kyiv. Ballet star Vadym Pysaryev (see UAM Volume 2, Issue 1)
recently organized a benefit concert in the National Opera of
Ukraine. The event was also a presentation of his first major
work as choreographer in a Ukrainian-Norwegian joint project
in the production of the ballet "Peer Gynt". The music to this
ballet was written by Edvard Grieg.
The Adagio movement of this new ballet, as seen in the
performance by Pysaryev and his constant dance partner and
wife Inna Dorofeyeva, promises to give birth to a harmonious
combination of diverse dance styles: modern dance and
contemporary movements of Marta Grechen and Morris Bezhar,
Norwegian folk dances, and the "good-old" classics.
--Holos Ukrayiny.
LITERATURE
----------
**UKRAINIAN MANUSCRIPT BOOK**
Kyiv. A new encyclopaedic publication by Professor Jakym
Zapaska "The Ukrainian Manuscript Book" was presented on March
6th in the National Museum of Ukrainian Literature. This
monumental work is an attempt to trace chronologically the
development of national book art in Ukraine. The best-known
Ukrainian manuscripts dating from the Kyiv princely eras to
the 18th century are analyzed and described in this
publication.
During the 11th century, court scribes of the great Kyivan
princes provided a large body of art manuscripts which remain
today significant cultural relics of Kyiv-Rus history. Today
Kyiv has very few of these cultural treasures in its
possession. At present, the only extant manuscript in Kyiv is
an Old-Slavonic missal "Kyiv Hlaholychni Lystky".
Many works such as the Ostromyrova Yevanhelia [Ostromyrov
Gospel] (1056-1057), Izbornyk Sviatoslava (1073), as well as
other well-known artistically decorative and ancient
manuscripts of Slavonic culture are presently located in
Moscow. A matter of fact, a similar fate befell many other
ancient writings of Ukraine.
The work by Jakym Zapaska, prepared for publication by the
Lviv Publisher "Svit" and printed in Priaev, Slovakia by
"Polygraf", is illustrated with 250 masterpieces of national
and international significance, including the Ostromyrov
Gospel, a unique family portrait of the Kyiv Princes of
Sviatoslav, and Renaissance decorations of the excellent
Perecopytskyj Gospel.

Lviv. Art circles will celebrate the 120th birthday
anniversary of Ilarion Sventsynsky, well-known activist
of Ukrainian museum matters, scholar, and long-time
director of the Lviv National Museum in April of this year.
A scientific conference and exhibition dedicated to his memory
will take place on April 7th. A memorial plate will also be
affixed on the building of the National Museum (Doroshenko 42,
Lviv).
--Vysokyj Zamok.
**SPRING FLOOD '96**
Cherkassy. Ten talented artists from Cherkassy organized an
exhibition "Spring Flood '96". Fantastic paintings by Tamara
Gordova, decorative canvasses by Neonila Nedosenko, batiks by
Tatyana Kasyan, ceramics by Ludmila Gansenko, and works by
other artists create a unique Spring bouquet. Tamara Gordova's
drawing "Two Fairy Birds Cherish the Bright Easter Egg" became
the symbol of this exhibition.
--Holos Ukrayiny.
**VISION ART**
Kyiv. The Kyiv Union of Photographers of Ukraine and the
artistic society "New Culture" are presenting an analytic
exhibition under the title "Vision Art" in the National Art
Museum. This exhibition demonstrates the symbiosis and mutual
influence of photography with other diverse art forms from new
technological means of creation (video art and computer
graphics) to more traditional genres (painting, graphics,
and sculpture).
