“Life has opened”

4.10.2019

In Poltava, first-year students of the faculty of foreign languages attended a concert of symphonic music “Life has opened.”

The event was held at the Poltava City House of Culture as part of the adaptation month at the Faculty of Foreign Languages.

During the adaptation month at the Faculty of Foreign Languages 1st-year students visited the symphony orchestra in the City House of Culture in Poltava. The day you come to an ancient temple of art and find yourself captured by its wonderful music, you understand that wonders happen to ones who are in pleasurable anticipation of it. Creative project “OpenLife” became a sheer miracle for “special” characters of our story. It is a joint project that involves collaboration of the orchestra of M. Zankovetska Ukrainian Drama Theatre and talented blind artists from all over Ukraine. 

The unusual concert program “OpenLife” was started by Oksana Potymko, blind Lvivan, and Bohdan Mochurad, honoured artist of Ukraine. This project is unparalleled in the whole world; its uniqueness lies in simultaneous participation of almost twenty blind singers, as well as in complexity of the performance of blind soloists, being accompanied by the orchestra, who are not able to see the conductor’s baton. Almost all soloists, suffering from vision defects, do not have music education; they sing with all their heart and soul. This project owes its success to self-denying participation of variety and symphony orchestra of M. Zankovetska Ukrainian Drama Theatre, being the only professional crew that collaborates with blind soloists.

 By virtue of this project, new horizons and the brightest colours of life can be opened for people suffering from vision defects; they are granted a unique possibility to unlock their creative potential going on tour with the orchestra all over Ukraine and abroad, as well as participating in television shows. Public, in its turn, will enjoy wonderful music and singing, and become captured by breath-taking emotions and unforgettable experience!
