Ukraine in the Eurovision final!

From the bottom of my heart, I congratulate our Ukrainian duet and the entire team with such a significant creative result and a powerful performance! 

I especially congratulate and rejoice for Jerry Heil - my former student in the specialty at the National Music Academy of Ukraine - Yana Shemayeva!

During our creative communication, Yana showed herself to be an incredibly talented, purposeful and hardworking student. Before that, she brilliantly graduated from the conducting and choral faculty of the Kyiv Municipal Academy of Music named after R. M. Glier, was a regular member of the girls' choir of the academy under the direction of our outstanding choirmaster Halyna Lukivna Horbatenko, and a performer of many premieres of my works, which I created just for this choir. In a very short period of time, she prepared for admission to the music academy and brilliantly passed the entrance exams for the department of composition with "first number", presenting her work for choir and orchestra and a number of chamber instrumental and vocal works. It so happened that Yana chose the path of popular music, not academic, but I believe that she was absolutely right.

Today I will not repost the video from the performance at the Eurovision Song Contest, but I will share another video from my creative archive - the performance of my work "Gloria Patri" by the girls' choir of the Glyer State Academy of Music under the direction of Halyna Horbatenko at the international competition in Tolosa (Spain). Yana sings in the top row, fourth from the left))).

I sincerely wish our girls victory at the competition in the Name and Glory of our state! I also sincerely congratulate my colleagues - Kyiv Municipal Academy of Music named after R. M. Glier and Yulia Shalkevych on the success of their former student! Let's cheer on!))
