Dear colleague,
Since 1993 till now in Sumy, Ukraine, 41
festivals has been held: 18 International festivals of organ
and chamber music Organum, 3 festivals
of jazz music – Jazz-fest, 15 International festivals
of Bach’s music – Bach-fest, International
Festival of Chamber Music in Shostka (Sumy region), Allukrainian
festival "30-th anniversary of Ukrainian Organ Art"
and 3 International festival of organ music – Livadia-fest. Our
festivals are included to International catalogues: Ukrainian
Musical List, Musical America, PAYE.
Except Ukrainian musicians participants from 26 countries took part
in these festivals. During festivals there were 15 exhibitions
of painting, sculpture, photographs and architects from Ukraine, France
& Netherlands made together with Sumy Arts Museum.
These festivals have become the integral part of the cultural life of
our town and many people got interested in. Mass-media paid much attention
and time to these festivals. To get the money for the artists journey from their countries I am
cooperating with the Embassies of Austria, The Netherlads and Poland,
as well as with the Goethe-Institute and the Institut Francais
d’Ukraine.
From 1995 year the Association "Organum"
won five grants at the contests of the cultural programs of the
International Soros Foundation. Association is possessor of a
two-manual French harpsichord (Ruckers/Taskin) "Fred Bettenhaussen"
for baroque & Bach's music interpretation.
I should like connect with musicians, organizations,
especially Bach organizations & festivals, managers, sponsors,
firms, businessmen, private persons which are able to support our Association
and Festivals because our economic situation doesn't allow us to do this.
I also want to ask you to consider making an additional financial gift
to our festivals. Whether large or small, your contribution helps ensure
the success of our efforts.
I hope that our cooperation could serve the development
of the cultural relationships in the world.
