Liatoshynsky Space 2025: Boris Liatoshynsky's music festival
Welcome to the Lyatoshynsky Foundation! We research and promote Ukrainian classical and contemporary music in Ukraine and worldwide. We pay special attention to the legacy of Borys Lyatoshynsky (1895-1968) — one of the most influential Ukrainian composers of the 20th century, founder of his own compositional school. His works combine modernist innovations and romantic expressiveness, attracting a wide audience.
We preserve, reinterpret, and integrate his music into the global context. The Foundation works to make Ukrainian music accessible and recognizable worldwide, as it deserves international recognition.
His story is not only dates and works, but decisions shaped by the context of the era
