The Ukrainian Classical Voice Project (UCVP) is a groundbreaking educational initiative dedicated to giving voice to underrepresented Ukrainian composers and celebrating the nation’s rich musical heritage. We believe that promoting Ukrainian repertoire means advancing social justice, inclusion, and fair representation in the arts.

What We Do

  • Diction & Resources: Offer Ukrainian diction coaching, music scores, and IPA transcriptions for singers.

  • Workshops & Seminars: Present on Ukrainian art songs and operatic arias at colleges and universities worldwide.

  • Concerts & Community Events: Organize recitals and collaborations to introduce these musical treasures to diverse audiences.

By embracing the timeless beauty and centuries-old legacy of Ukrainian vocal repertoire, we foster a deeper appreciation of Ukraine’s cultural identity—ensuring its voice is heard around the globe.
