Ukrainian Symphonic Miniature Anthology
Ukrainian Symphonic Miniature Anthology
The Anthology aims to present symphonic miniatures that span the history of Ukrainian symphonism, from its origins to the present day. These short, vivid pieces have been carefully selected to ensure they can be seamlessly included in a symphony orchestra performance, either as a striking opening to a concert or as an encore. They also form a cohesive programme, suitable for performance in a single concert.
