Concert of the ensemble “Partes” of the laboratory “Musica sacra Ukraine Open Opera Ukraine” (Kyiv). Music director and conductor – Natalia Khmilevska. Lecturer – musicologist, Candidate of the Arts, program director of “Open Opera Ukraine” Anna Hadetska.
The ensemble PARTES was founded as a part of the “Musica sacra Ukraina: Partes Dimension” project, founded by Open Opera Ukraine in 2019. The project explores one of the most significant, original and little-studied of Ukrainian music history – polyphonic (partes) Ukrainian singing of the 17th-18th centuries.
“Musica sacra Ukraina” is a platform for the interaction of scientists, musicians, culture managers and curators whose activities in the means of presenting partes contribute to the development of interest and proper attention to this kind of music. The format of the project is a laboratory which is studying a music piece consequently – from processing and decoding the manuscript to its performance (live or recorded).
