The Ukrainian Art Song Project and the Musica Leopolis recording label were founded in 2004 with the dream of acquiring and promoting the classical treasures of Ukrainian art song.
The project is a ground-breaking initiative to record and publish a veritable anthology of over 1,000 art songs by 26 of Ukraine’s most significant composers — whose voices were silenced or politically repressed — for distribution to the music world. Equally important has been the goal of introducing Ukrainian art songs to students in international conservatories and music faculties.
To date, the label has recorded more than 400 dramatic songs, many of them masterpieces, by composers such as Mykola Lysenko, Kyrylo Stetsenko, Yakiv Stepovyi, Stefania Turkewich and Vasyl Barvinsky. All recordings are available on major streaming platforms. Musical scores are published on the Ukrainian Art Song Project website, where they can be downloaded free of charge. And our online library offers more than 350 downloadable scores, translations, transliterations, and pronunciation guides free of charge.
This landmark project operates under the auspices of the Canadian Ukrainian Opera Association, a registered charity, whose objectives are to promote Ukrainian classical music in all its forms, including live performances, masterclasses, and recordings. The Ukrainian Art Song Project is managed by a volunteer Board of Directors based in Toronto that is responsible for fulfilling the aims of the project and spearheading communication, fundraising, and events.
Education is central to our mission. In 2017, we established the Ukrainian Art Song Summer Institute to introduce emerging artists and educators of diverse backgrounds to this repertoire under the guidance of a professional faculty. To date, more than 50 vocalists and accompanying pianists have participated in the annual program.
The Ukrainian Art Song Project is supported by an international cast of artists and enthusiastic music lovers, and it will leave an extraordinary musical legacy to the world.
Imagine being part of this.
