The 6th All-Ukrainian Choral Festival-Competition in memory of Konstantin Pigrov has concluded in Odesa. This year, 40 ensembles from various cities of Ukraine took part in the event, and the final chord of the competition sounded on the stage of the Odesa National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet, where Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Requiem” was performed.

Thanks to the Foundation’s support, all laureates of the competition received monetary awards, including the Grand Prix winners — an important contribution to the development of cultural initiatives and the encouragement of talented youth.
The Grand Prix was awarded to the choir of the Cherkasy Professional Music College named after Semen Hulak-Artemovsky, conducted by Nataliia Shmaraieva-Hozha. In the category “Senior Children’s Choirs,” the winner was the exemplary choir Adiamus of Odesa School of Arts No. 11, conducted by Mykola Okhrimchuk.
The laureates also included:
– the exemplary children’s choir “Zabava” of Odesa School of Arts No. 3 (conductor — Svitlana Smirnova);

– the student choir “Sunny Stream” of the Mykolaiv Professional College of Music Art (conductor — Yurii Cherepukhin).
The competition became a true celebration for the entire city of Odesa.
Supporting such cultural projects is of great importance: it inspires young performers, strengthens national identity, and continues the legacy of the outstanding masters of the Ukrainian music school.
