The author of the project, Tina Peresunko, spoke about the exhibition, as well as the history of the famous “Schedryk” and presented her book about “Schedryk” which will add to the library fund of the UNTAM.
The president of the UNTAM Maksym Tymoshenko expressed his gratitude to the promoters of the exhibition and the US Embassy for supporting this important project for Ukrainian culture. The head of the Academy noted that the worldwide popularity of “Schedryk” has connections with the Kyiv Conservatory because Oleksandr Koshyts worked at the conservatory for several years and conducted the student choir.

At the event, the choir of boys and young men of the practice sector of the UNTAM under the leadership Alla Sheyko performed the legendary“Schedryk”.
