Pylatyuk

By: CofC Media

The College of Charleston Orchestra continues its path of excellence with an upcoming fall concert. Conductor Yuriy Bekker unifies students, faculty, and professional musicians for a captivating performance featuring two Ukrainian musicians — international multiple award-winning violinist Nazar Pylatyuk and accomplished music student Maria Savelyeva. The orchestra will perform Smetana’s tone poem Moldau, and Beethoven’s Overture to Egmont.

Bekker expounds on the program: “With the ongoing war and devastation in Ukraine, we aim to express our support to the Ukrainian community in Charleston through our music. For months, we’ve prepared for this special concert featuring student cellist Maria Savalyeva, who will perform Schumann’s Cello Concerto, and award-winning violinist Nazar Pylatyuk, who will return to Charleston to perform Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk’s Carpathian Rhapsody and Violin Concerto no 7. Skoryk, a prominent figure in Ukrainian music, dedicated this concerto to our guest violinist, Mr. Pylatyuk. With the power of music, we want to bring people together and uplift our Charleston-Ukrainian community during this difficult time.”

DETAILS: The performance will be held at 7:30 pm on Monday, Nov. 27, 2023 in the Sottile Theatre, 44 George St. Tickets range from $20 to $40, and can be purchased through the George Street Box Office online, or by calling (843) 953-4726.
