The pianist Violina Petrychenko is a tireless and convincing ambassador of Ukrainian music.

Through her initiative, numerous works from her homeland have been made known to a wider international public.

Together with the Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Volodymyr Syvokhip, she presents piano concertos by her compatriots Vasyl Barvinsky (1888-1963) and Viktor Kosenko (1896-1938). Each of them is an important milestone in Ukrainian music history, but unfortunately they have received little attention in the West.

The pianist Violina Petrychenko is a renowned pianist who is dedicated to promoting Ukrainian music and culture. Her education began in Zaporizhia and took her to Kyiv, Weimar, Cologne, and Essen. She has released five CDs dedicated to Ukrainian composers of the 20th century. Additionally, she is the artistic director of the "Sounds of Ukraine" festival and a soloist with the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra. Her last two CDs have been nominated four times for the prestigious "Opus Klassik" award.
