The Telnyuk Sisters (Template:Lang-uk) are a Ukrainian vocal duo composed of Lesya and Halya Telnyuk, both of whom are Merited Artist of the Ukraine.

One of their most notable achievements is the Vasyl Stus Prize for the preservation and promotion of Ukrainian culture.

Within their repertoire are songs based on poems by T.Shevchenko, P.Tychyna, Ye.Malanuik, B.-I.Antonych, V.Stus, L.Kostenko, O.Zabuzhko and others.

History

From early childhood, Lesya and Halya were surrounded by poetry, music, painting. Their father Stanislav Telnyuk is a Ukrainian writer, literary critic, poet, and translator. Their mother, Nelly Kopylova, is a linguist, a translator of Oriental Languages, and an editor. The poetic word, complete with its rhythms, colors, and melodies, has become an integral and organic influence in shaping the sisters' ideological outlook.

The sisters created their first musical compositions at the age of 13. They created rock ballads, sketches, pastels, elegies, and songs for choral performance based on the verses of classic Ukrainian poets.

Lesya and Halya entrusted their first serious attempt at arranging their own songs to a talented composer, Alexander Melnyk. This was the beginning of a creative collaboration. The duo formed as a professional team in 1986.

Early 1990's - Albums: "Moment" ("Myt`"), "Lesya and Halya" and nearly a dozen songs continued this creative collaboration. In the 90's, the duo's songs and arrangements were created by the composer Andryj Shust ("Falcon" ("Sokil") "Belles Summer has passed ...").

They adopted a new sound when they began to collaborate with the creative pianist and composer, Ivan Davydenko ("Take offense," "Under the rain," "Ophelia," "Next to you").
