The Mykola Lysenko Music Competition was founded in 1962 by the Ukrainian composers Andriy Shtoharenko, Yevhen Stankovych, Myroslav Skoryk, Levko Kolodub, the singer Yelyzaveta Tchavdar, pianists Yevhen Rzhanov and the composer's granddaughter Ariadna Lysenko. In 1992, on the 150th anniversary of Lysenko's birth, it acquired international status.
Most Prestigious
Over years of its existence it has become one of the most important and prestigious music forums in Ukraine. Until 1992, it was a national music competition held in various cities of Ukraine: Kyiv, Kharkiv, Lviv, Odessa, and Zaporizhia. And since 1992 it has been run as the Mykola Lysenko International Music Competition.
At different times the competition jury panel was adorned by the names of Ukraine's finest artists and professors, as well as distinguished musicians from Russia, Poland, Canada, Austria, Germany, Latvia, Armenia, Estonia, Belarus, Rumania, Kazakhstan, Italy, the USA etc.
The competition repertoire of each participant must include works of classic repertoire as well as works by Lysenko and other Ukrainian composers. Thus every time these academic tournaments turn into a brilliant music festival with bright national colour.
Starts
Thanks to the Lysenko Competition a powerful start in career was given to a number of Ukrainian artists, known worldwide: pianists – Liudmyla Martsevych, Etella Tchupryk, Milana Tcherniavska; violinists Oleksandr Semchuk, Olha Rivniak, and Dima Tkachenko; cellists Hanna Nuzha, Ivan Kucher; singers Lidia Zabiliasta, Andrii Shkurhan, Volodymyr Hryshko, Mykola Shopsha and many others.
The Lysenko Competition is not just another music tournament with joyful victories and upset losses intermingled but it is above all a forum of masters of various generations, exchange of experience and masterclass of skilful performance.
The Mykola Lysenko Music Competition is a visiting-card of the Ukrainian music culture and is among the well-known leading competitions in Eastern Europe such as The Tchaikovsky Competition in Russia, Chopin Competition in Poland and several others.
