Mykola Lysenko International Music Competition

The Mykola Lysenko Music Competition was founded in 1962 by the Ukrainian composers Andriy Shtoharenko, Yevhen Stankovych, Myroslav Skoryk, Levko Kolodub, the singer Yelyzaveta Tchavdar, pianists Yevhen Rzhanov and the composer’s granddaughter Ariadna Lysenko.

Most Prestigious

During 50 years in existence it has become one of the most important and prestigious music forums in Ukraine. Until 1992 it was a national competition held in various cities of Ukraine: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Odesa, Zaporizha. And since 1997 it has been run as the Lysenko International Competition.

At different times the competition jury panel was adorned by the names of Ukraine’s finest artists and professors, as well as distinguished musicians from Russia, Poland, Canada, Austria, Germany, Latvia, Armenia, Estonia, Belarus, Rumania, Kazakhstan, Italy, the USA etc.

The competition repertoire of each participant must include works of classic repertoire as well as works by Lysenko and other Ukrainian composers. Thus every time these academic tournaments turn into a brilliant music festival with bright national colour.

Thanks to the Lysenko Competition a powerful start in career was given to a number of Ukrainian artists, known world-wide: pianists – Liudmyla Martsevych, Etella Tchupryk, Milana Tcherniavska; violinists Olha Rivniak, Oles Semchuk and Dima Tkachenko; cellists Hanna Nuzha, Ivan Kucher; singers Lidia Zabiliasta, Andrii Shkurhan, Volodymyr Hryshko, Mykola Shopsha and many others.
