LUkraine asbl, the association of Ukrainians in Luxembourg, has announced a concert dedicated to Ukrainian classical music, taking place at Philharmonie Luxembourg on Thursday 11 June 2026 from 19:30 to 21:00.
At the centre of the programme will be pianist Marta Kuziy, a performer and educator born in Lviv, Ukraine before continuing her studies in Poland. According to the organisers, her work combines international experience with a strong focus on Ukrainian musical heritage and cultural continuity.
Returning to Ukraine in 2019 after more than a decade abroad, she continues to perform internationally while actively contributing to cultural life within Ukraine. Alongside her concert activity, she teaches and works with young musicians, shaping a new generation for whom music is not only a profession, but a way of thinking and responding to the present.
The programme will feature works by composers including Mykola Lysenko, Viktor Kosenko, Levko Revutsky and Nestor Nyzhankivsky in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine.
The concert programme aims to explore Ukrainian classical music as part of a broader European cultural space, while also addressing the impact of war on culture and artistic identity. According to the organisers, “music becomes a way to preserve memory” in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Alongside the musical performances, the event will also include stories of Ukrainian cultural figures killed during the war, developed in collaboration with Killed Culture Makers.
According to LUkraine, the music of Viktor Kosenko (1896-1938) is marked by lyricism, sensitivity and emotional depth, while Levko Revutsky (1889-1977) composed with restraint, balance and inner tension. The work of Nestor Nyzhankivsky (1893-1940) engaged with European compositional traditions while maintaining a distinct individual voice. Mykola Lysenko (1842-1912), considered a foundational figure in Ukrainian music, established a national compositional language rooted in both European form and Ukrainian musical tradition.
The programme will feature Sonata in A minor, Op 16, Concert Polonaise No 2, Op 7 and Dumka-Shumka by Mykola Lysenko, as well as Étude Op 8 No 8, Mazurka Op 9 and Poem-Legend Op 12 No 1 by Viktor Kosenko. The concert will also include Song Op 17 No 1 and Preludes Op 4 Nos. 1-2 by Levko Revutsky, alongside Prelude and Fugue and Waltz by Nestor Nyzhankivsky.
