Volodymyr Bohatyrov - Concerto-collage

Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Luhansk Regional Philharmonic
Ivan Ostapovych – conductor

The Concerto-Collage was created by the composer in the summer of 2021 as a diploma work. Volodymyr Bohatyrov mentions that this piece marks the conclusion of his phase as a student-composer and a kind of “farewell” to the postmodern stylistic approach. The concerto consists of three movements (Scherzo, Barcarole, and Toccata). The collage aspect is not achieved through explicit themes or quotations but rather through allusions to certain intonational and genre models. Contrasting elements and expressive means are noticeable not only between the movements of the cycle but also within each of them. “Apart from the stylistic features of impressionism, neoclassicism, and neo-romanticism in the melody and texture of the Concerto, one can see flirtations with the figures of socialist realism,” says Volodymyr Bohatyrov, “this is somewhat a consequence of the departure of compositional thinking from the narratives of the Soviet legacy.”

The world premiere of the Concerto-Collage took place on April 14, 2024, at the Lviv Organ Hall.
