Ready for the World Music Series: Ukraine explores music for violin, clarinet, and piano, with a variety of musical selections representing the rich and diverse classical music culture of Ukraine! This year, we have invited an ensemble of three distinguished musical artists from the Ukraine, including: violinist, Solomia Soroka (recording artist and violin professor, Goshen College); clarinetist, Sergei Vassiliev (D’Addario Artist and Principal Clarinet of the Colorado Springs Philharmonic); and pianist, Angelina Gadeliya (Soloist, piano professor and coordinator of keyboard studies, University of Connecticut). All three are renowned professional musicians with prestigious appointments at universities and professional orchestras in the United States. In the past year, these three musicians have championed the music of their native Ukraine by performing throughout the US to raise awareness of the importance and distinctiveness of Ukrainian music, an inspiring and engaging body of musical literature.
