The singer Zoryana Kushpler regarding deep-seated misunderstandings, Ukrainian music, the language and Mozart’s son as the founder of the Academy in Lemberg.
Zoryana Kushpler, born in Lemberg, was a member of the ensemble of the Vienna State Opera for many years. She is currently in demand not only as a singer who tries to make music from her homeland sound. She also gives lectures in which she explains the independence of Ukrainian music through singing and storytelling. She is currently giving concerts in Lemberg with an orchestra of exiled musicians from eastern Ukraine. With the “Presse am Sonntag” she spoke regarding the many misunderstandings and the lack of knowledge regarding the culture of her homeland.
You recorded a CD of Ukrainian music with the musicians who fled the war zone and are now presenting this program in Lviv, where this initiative has met with enormous interest. They immediately had to insert an additional concert. Presumably in Austria and Germany you meet astonished contemporaries who had no idea that Ukraine has its own musical tradition?
