Ukrainian Classical Voice Project

We are so honored to welcome you this Saturday, May 2nd at 3:00 PM at Alice Statler Auditorium, Cornell University. ✨

Join us for "Voices of Resilience", a deeply moving lecture-recital. Meet our artists and speakers as we gather through music, storytelling, and shared reflection.

Developed in collaboration with the Ukrainian Classical Voice Project, this program is made possible by the Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies and sponsored by the Institute for European Studies.

"Voices of Resilience" weaves performance with spoken insight to explore music as a force for peace-making, solidarity, and unity in times of war, displacement, and profound loss. Centering marginalized and underrepresented creative voices, the program illuminates music as a living archive of cultural memory, resilience, and collective expression.

Through sound and story, we engage themes of identity, poetry, migration, and peace pedagogy. Together we honor the lived experiences of those historically overlooked, affected by conflict, censorship and cultural erasure while affirming the essential role of artistic collaboration in fostering global understanding, compassion, and hope.

We look forward to sharing this powerful moment with you, as we celebrate our shared wish for a more just and peaceful future. 💙💛

Huge thanks to Global Cornell

We are immensely honored and proud to announce that Maxim Kolomiiets, the acclaimed Kyiv-born composer and author of the upcoming opera Mothers of Kherson, has joined the Ukrainian Classical Voice Project’s Board of Directors!

Hailing from Kyiv, he has emerged as a distinctive voice in contemporary music.

A brilliant talent, his distinct compositional voice possesses an ability to capture grief, exhilaration, rage and transcendent love in a way that simply pierces the heart...

In 2023, Maxim was commissioned to compose an opera about the abducted Ukrainian children by the Metropolitan Opera/Lincoln Center New Works Program, with a libretto by George Brant.

Scheduled for The Metropolitan Opera’s 2027–2028 season, Mothers of Kherson will make history as the first Ukrainian opera ever presented at The Met, marking a major milestone for Ukrainian culture on the global stage.

A fierce advocate for bringing Ukrainian music to wider audiences, Maxim shares our mission to make Ukrainian scores more accessible and widely available to educators, students, and professional performers.

His leadership and vision strengthen our commitment to championing Ukrainian cultural legacy, amplifying visibility for contemporary Ukrainian narratives, and supporting the creation and international recognition of classical works that embody freedom, resilience, and enduring artistic strength.

Welcome, Maxim!! 🫶
We are thrilled to have you in our corner and excited to make a lasting difference together!

Thank you for being a change maker, a visionary musician with a rebel heart, a creative voice that always speaks non-negotiable truth, and an amazing human being we feel lucky to call a treasured friend.

The Ukrainian Classical Voice Project celebrates "Letters from the Front Line", a stunning song cycle by American composer Evan Mack .mack.music featuring poetry by Pavlo Vyshebaba .

We love the cover art created by a Ukrainian artist Ula Patoka at .

We thank Opera Vision .eu and Opera for Peace for their support and lending visibility to this remarkable work.

Every fourth Saturday of November, the world comes together to commemorate the innocent lives claimed by the Holodomor, a genocide that scarred the soul of Ukraine.

Today, we honor the victims of the Holodomor, the man-made famine of 1932–33 that took millions of Ukrainian lives. It is a day of remembrance, reflection, and truth.

For us at the Ukrainian Classical Voice Project, this remembrance holds a profound artistic dimension. History is not only preserved in documents and testimonies. It lives in music.

Composers have long carried the responsibility of telling the stories that regimes tried to erase, giving voice to those who could no longer speak for themselves.

Few works embody this more powerfully than Yevhen Stankovych’s Holodomor Requiem (“Panakhyda for the Dead of the Famine”), written in 1992 to the poetry of Dmytro Pavlychko. It is a monumental act of remembrance, a musical testimony to the suffering Ukraine endured, and a refusal to let silence finish what the famine began.

Music can expose truth, restore dignity, and protect memory. It allows us to feel what statistics can never convey. And it reminds us that the Ukrainian voice, suppressed for generations, continues to rise with clarity, strength, and purpose.

As Ukraine reclaims its cultural and national identity, we honor this day through sound: with art that remembers, and with voices that insist on truth.

Today, we remember. Today, we listen. Today, the voice of Ukraine is heard.

Our hearts are still glowing after a very special evening “From The Heart of Ukraine” at The Sembrich! 🎭🎶✨️✨️✨️

We extend our deepest gratitude to all the extraordinary artists who lent their voices to this moving program, and especially to baritone .eick Caleb Eick, soprano Vedrana Kalas , our wonderful collaborative pianist Michael Clement and our gracious host Richard Wargo for their artistry and generosity.

It was a profound honor to perform within the historic teaching studio of Madame Marcella Sembrich, a space steeped in musical heritage and timeless inspiration. The atmosphere was imbued with a rare magic... it felt as though Madame Sembrich’s legendary presence surrounded us, guiding each note and illuminating every phrase.

We are humbled to have celebrated her enduring legacy through music born of both heart and hope. To all who joined us: thank you for sharing in this unforgettable experience.

In this sacred space where music still breathes with Madame Sembrich’s spirit, we are reminded that art transcends time and place.

May every song we share be a thread that connects hearts across distances, and may beauty continue to lead us toward understanding and peace.

💛💙
