On March 8th, in Canada, the wonderful women's choir Lady Cove, conducted by Kellie Walsh, held a concert dedicated to International Women’s Day. I am incredibly happy that among other pieces, my composition "Trisagion" on spiritual texts was also performed as part of the program.

About the event
My creative connection with this choir began many years ago when Kellie discovered me through social media, expressing interest in performing my piece "Otherworldly Games", set to the poetry of Olena Stepanenko. Later, the choir participated in the "Singing for Ukraine" project, where they, along with ten other leading choirs from the US and Canada, commissioned a piece from me for a treble choir. That piece was "The Song", based on the poetry of Lesia Ukrainka. And now, our collaboration continues.
I am endlessly grateful to Kellie, the incredible choir members, and Alla Melnychuk - a native of Kharkiv who helped with learning the Ukrainian text - for their support of Ukraine and their dedication to singing in Ukrainian! 💙💛
