Collegium Musicum unites a wide range of creative personalities: musicians; writers, actors, journalists, etc.) in order to create a cultural space — as a platform for a young artist to attract an active listener.

Collegium Musicum Chamber Orchestra

The Collegium Musicum Chamber Orchestra was founded in 2014, on the basis of the art community of the same name in Lviv. The initiators of the collective were conductor Ivan Ostapovich and poet, literary critic Taras Demko.

Over the years of its existence, the orchestra has become famous in Ukraine and abroad. It is a participant in prestigious music festivals in Lviv and it collaborates with such famous musicians as conductor Lev Markiz, pianists Andrei Gavrilov, Antonii Baryshevskyi, Dmitro Choni, violinists Sergey Ostrovsky, Kirill Sharapov, Igor Zavgorodny, Orest Smovzh, cellist Denis Severin, vocalists Christian Gilz, Richard Resch, and Tatiana Zhuravel.

The orchestra's repertoire includes music from different eras, from baroque to modern.

The Collegium Musicum Orchestra made its debut at the final concert of the festival "Days of Bach Music by Collegium Musicum," [3] and then at the chamber music festival "Winter Evenings by Collegium Musicum." [4] [5] The band's creations consist of programs of rarely performed and almost unknown music to the Ukrainian listener.

"The unique audio archives where artifacts of their time are stored remain unencrypted and unknown. Most of them are available in a single copy and saved on technically outdated media. If we do not digitize this legacy in the near future, we risk losing it forever, and therefore losing our own historical memory forever."
