Valeriia

Ukrainian

I’m a composer, conductor, and performer specializing in the integration of Ukrainian folk music with contemporary composition. Graduated from Khmelnytskyi Music College in violin and orchestral conducting (2018) and earned Bachelor’s (2022) and Master’s (2025) degrees in Composition from the Krzysztof Penderecki Academy of Music in Kraków.

My work combines Ukrainian folk traditions, field recordings, “white voice” singing, and electroacoustic techniques. I have participated in the International Festival of Krakow Composers (2021–2023), my composition Archaic. Winter was featured during the concert Music Against Dictatorship(s) (2022).

In 2024, her orchestral miniature Oj na Kupała, na Iwana, based on a Podolian folk melody, premiered during the 10th anniversary concert of the Mass Events Foundation. Alongside my artistic activity, I am working as a violin and guitar teacher, composition tutor, and conductor.
