(Splen)door to Ukraine III: Kiev Avant-garde '60 (lezing & pianoconcert)
Lecture by Ihor Sukhorukov and piano recital by Antonii Baryshevskyi
It is impossible to imagine contemporary Ukrainian classical music without them: Silvestrov, Zahortsev, Hodziatsky, and others were students of modernist composer Borys Lyatoshynsky who transferred classical musical tradition to the young generation. Сomposers of the informal group “Kyiv Avant-Garde of the 1960s” created music that challenged socialist realism — the only acceptable musical and aesthetic style in the USSR. They maintained contacts with composers in Europe and the US and smuggled books about 12-tone music and scores of the Second Viennese School and Polish modernists to study them and “to catch up with the West diligently”.
