About Places
The festival launches with Places on Thursday, March 19, 2026, presented in collaboration with the International Contemporary Ensemble. This opening program explores the relationship between geography and imagination, portraying how Ukraine’s vast and varied landscapes — from the Carpathian Mountains to post-industrial mining towns — shape the sonic imagination of its composers. Featured works include Vela Invecti by Alla Zahaykevych, Branching by Ostap Manulyak, Voice of the Mountains by Victor Kaminsky, Terricone by Anna Korsun (new arrangement co-commissioned by International Contemporary Ensemble and UCMF), and Five Minutes After Leaving the Bomb Shelter by Ivan Nebesnyy.

Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival

450 West 37th Street
The Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival showcases Ukraine’s complex and unique contributions to contemporary music through performance and discussion with scholars, musicians, and composers. The festival engages the intersection of new music, contemporary events, and the culture of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival is the only festival in North America dedicated to the promotion of Ukrainian contemporary music. It is an important platform for both rising and established Ukrainian composers, who continue to be overlooked in North American concert programming due to legacies of cultural erasure and appropriation.
