Ukraine

Faliks draws from her Ukrainian-Jewish heritage and Mikhail Bulgakov's anti-censorship novel The Master and Margarita for a new album.

The 86-year-old Kyiv native, living in exile in Berlin, has a new album of symphonic works that explores the idea of reminiscence.

A Ukrainian chorus first performed Shchedryk in the U.S. in 1922. A century later, during another fight for freedom, Ukrainian singers performed the folk song at the site of its North American debut.

Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, now living as a refugee, composed 'Maidan' in response to the Euromaidan, a wave of demonstrations in 2014. His new album features its performance by the Kyiv Chamber Choir.
