IV Festival of Polish Culture in Ukraine
CONCERTS
The organizers are convinced that Culture knows no boundaries – neither those of geography, nor can it be categorically divided into amateur and professional.
Festivals of Polish Culture in Ukraine have a history. For the first time the Festival was held in 1996 in Lviv. Its initiators and co-organizers were the Federation of Polish Organizations in Ukraine and the Society of Polish Culture of the Lviv Region. The first presentation of the artistic achievements of the Polish national minority living in Ukraine arose from the need to show the activity of Polish amateur groups on a common stage and became a great experience and reward for perseverance. This presentation initiated the following Festivals, which have been held every two years since then. The 2nd and 3rd Festivals of Polish Culture in Ukraine made sure that the creative efforts of each ensemble are evidence of the continuous development of national heritage and continue to bear fruit. From the very beginning, the Festival had an open form, in which various artistic activities found a place - dance, choral and stage groups, but also theatrical performances with the participation of Polish theaters from Lviv. Since the first Festival, although its main task was to present the amateur activity of the Polish ensembles of Ukraine, there were events with the participation of prominent representatives of the cultural world from Poland. It is worth recalling here the performance of Krzysztof Penderecki's "Polish Requiem" at the First Festival in 1996, with the composer in the role of conductor of the Krakow Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. The 3rd Festival of Polish Culture in Ukraine was held in Lviv and Kyiv. The Fourth Festival is expanding its geography to include other cities - Odessa and Kharkiv, thus proving that there is a need to meet Polish culture throughout Ukraine. There are also organizations representing the Polish community of Ukraine, which, although scattered, strives for integration and contact with the historic Motherland. It is also a natural promoter of Poland in the places of its residence. A new and important phenomenon of the 4th Festival of Polish Culture in Ukraine is the numerous participation of Ukrainian professional cultural institutions, including those with national status. It is extremely gratifying to the organizers that the presentation of Polish culture in Ukraine has acquired such an important character. The 4th Festival of Polish Culture in Ukraine received high patronage of the Presidents of Poland and Ukraine, for which the organizers here express their gratitude. They read this as an important sign of Polish-Ukrainian rapprochement and good neighborly relations. The organizers are convinced that Culture knows no boundaries - neither those of geography, nor can it be categorically divided into amateur and professional. Culture is a space of Spirit, and everyone can find their place in it. It is also a space that unites rather than divides, mutually enriches and allows for better understanding. This is also the message of the organizers of this Festival.
