Dear colleague,
Since 1993 till now 58 festivals have been
held in Sumy, Ukraine: 26 International festivals of organ and
chamber music Organum, 3 festivals
of jazz music – Jazz-fest, 24 International festivals
of Bach’s music – Bach-fest, International
Festival of Chamber Music in Shostka (Sumy region), All-Ukrainian
festival "The 30-th anniversary of Ukrainian Organ Art"
and 3 International festivals of organ music – Livadia-fest. Our
festivals are included to International catalogues: Ukrainian
Musical List, Musical America, PAYE.
Besides the Ukrainian musicians,
the participants from 26 countries also took part in these festivals.
Duriing festivals there were 15 exhibitions of painting, sculpture,
photographs and architects from Ukraine, France & Netherlands
made together with Sumy Arts Museum. These festivals have
become the integral part of the cultural life of our town and, for now, many people
got interested in. Mass-media paid much attention and time to these festivals.
To pay for the journeys of the invited foreign artists I am cooperating with the Embassies of Austria, Belgium,
Germany, The Netherlads, Poland and USA
as well as with the Goethe-Institute and the Institut
Francais d’Ukraine.
Since 1995 the Association "Organum" has
won five grants at the contests of the cultural programs of the
International Soros Foundation. The association owns a French
double-manual harpsichord (Ruckers/Taskin) "Fred Bettenhaussen"
for baroque & Bach's music interpretation.
I am looking for the contact with the musicians, organizations,
especially Bach organizations & festivals, managers, sponsors,
firms, businessmen, private persons which are able to support our Association
and Festivals because our economic situation doesn't allow us to do this.
I also want to ask you to consider making an additional financial gift
to our festivals. No matter if the amount is large or small, your contribution helps ensure
the success of our efforts.
I hope that our cooperation could serve the development
of the cultural relationships in the world.
