Concert “Unison. Silvestrov. Pärt. Kancheli”
The concert, to be held on October 25 under the vaults of the majestic St. Sophia Cathedral, will become a meeting place for the music of three geniuses — Valentyn Silvestrov, Arvo Pärt, and Giya Kancheli.
The year 2025 is symbolic: Arvo Pärt celebrates his 90th anniversary, and Giya Kancheli would have turned 90. These significant dates inspired the creation of “Unison” — an event that unites three great figures of the world’s musical culture.We take special pride in the fact that one of them is our compatriot — Valentyn Silvestrov.
Each of the three outstanding composers has his own unique musical language, style, and creative path, yet they are joined by a kindredness of souls, a shared vision of the world, and a striving toward Light.
This unison can be heard not only in their music, but also seen in their lives and long-lasting friendship.
We invite you to join this Unison — a sacred moment of spiritual kinship, profound resonance, warm light, humanity, and pure harmony.
