Musik für die Seele - Musikfest Bremen

In the organizer's words:

Dmytro Kokoshynskyy Harpsichord

Program:
Works by Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, John Bull, Orlando Gibbons, Johann Jakob Froberger and Maxim Shalygin

The young Ukrainian harpsichordist Dmytro Kokoshynskyy, trained in Kiev and Basel, is, among other things, 2nd prize winner of the internationally renowned harpsichord competitions in Milan (2021) and Bruges (2023). His program "Music for These Troubled Times" is inspired by Robert Burton's thesis in "The Anatomy of Melancholy", namely that listening to music makes you melancholy, but is at the same time healing, as it gives instant relief to afflicted minds. He wrote these words in 1621 in the exact context of the English repertoire by Tallis, Byrd, Bull and Gibbons, which is the focus of the program. In order to build a bridge between the melancholy of past centuries and our present, the work KHORA by contemporary Ukrainian-Dutch composer Maxim Shalygin, written especially for this project, will be performed. A program that celebrates the power of music to dispel sorrow, transform grief and provide solace.
