Absorb the Traditional Ukrainian polyphonic songs with sacred themes,
alongside folk songs where God and love are woven into everyday village life
Delivered by the ensemble Milánosz and Ukrainian singer Liuba Plavska, acclaimed for presenting some of the finest interpretations of Ukrainian folk music in our country. The vocal ensemble Milánosz performs Ukrainian and other Slavic folklore using the so-called “white voice” technique, and, as Rita Lyons Kindlerová wrote in 2015, “it can be said without exaggeration that this is the finest performance of Ukrainian folk songs in our country.”
Performing:
Milánosz (Czech republic, Slovakia) - vocal ensemble
Liubov Plavska (Ukraine) - vocals
About the Archaion Kallos festival:
The Archaion Kallos International Festival of Orthodox Music offers a beautiful spiritual and musical experience. In its literal sense, the Greek expression “archaion kallos” means “ancient beauty,” but in the vocabulary of the Holy Fathers of the Eastern Christian Church, “archaion kallos” speaks of a certain archetype, an “original beauty;” that is to say, the beauty which man beheld in Paradise and which he experienced after Creation. The Philokallia Association (philokallia, a word of Greek origin meaning “love of the beautiful”) gave this name to the first and only festival of Orthodox music in Prague because they perceive every act in sacred music, whether of composition or interpretation, as a kind of conscious or unconscious search for this pristine beauty, the Archaion Kallos.
The festival is held under the auspices of
The Minister of Culture, Mgr. Martin Baxa,
The Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic, H.E. Mr. Dinos Konstantinou,
The Ambassador of the Republic of Estonia, H.E Ms. Jana Vanaveski,
The Municipal District of Prague 2
and with the blessings of
His Eminence Michal, Archbishop of Prague and the Czech Lands.
