Concert Musiqa responds to FotoFest Exhibition “Fighting Ukrainian War Photographers”

Musiqa has commissioned Houston-based composer Theo Chandler to create a new work for violin and soprano in response to a photograph captured by Sergey Korovayny that shows Ukrainian composer Soroush Zali performing Arno Babajanian’s Elegy in a destroyed building in Irpin, Ukraine. In addition, the program will include two works by Ukrainian composers Valentin Slivestrov’s Postlude for solo violin, and Bohdana Frolyak’s Partita-meditation for two violins. Performers will be Ukrainian-American soprano Yelena Dyachek and violinists Nanki Chugh and Jacob Schafer.
