ManifestConcert of Music by Roman Grygoriv
The symphony "Kyrie eleison" for 96-voice mixed choir, composed by Roman Grygoriv in 2013, is based on a sacred text. In 2025, Mykola Hobdych prepared a new version of the piece for the “Kyiv” choir. It is this revised version that will be performed for the first time on August 14 at the Bouquet Kyiv Stage festival.
The performative ritual "Songs of the Unborn" for a rocket from the Uragan MLRS, orchestra, voice, and electronics will also be presented for the first time with choir accompaniment. Originally created in 2023 as a series of video novellas, the work gradually evolved into a performance featuring an actual missile fragment. After presentations in Berlin, Oxford, Copenhagen, and other cities, "Songs of the Unborn" will finally be presented in Kyiv.
