always makes you forget that there are no professionals on stage, but hobby singers and amateurs, some of whom can’t even read music.
Art Crossing Borders wants to support and protect this strong integrating power and the quality of being able to motivate to high performance. Despite resistance and difficulties, the Moravski Chamber Choir has created something special that vividly demonstrates how meaningful and important participation in art and making music together is. For some members, the choir has become a retreat and center of life, for which they put up with long distances, cold winters and out-of-tune pianos.
The choir is also making an impact in the professional music world. In his young career he was invited to 40 national and international concerts and festivals and won several awards. In the process, he also achieved the brilliant victory of the second Ukrainian Mykola Leonovich Choir Competition, in which, competing with professional choirs.
Everyone who attends a rehearsal of the Moravski Chamber Choir senses that something is different here. In the pandemic, other choirs lost members. It must mean something when a choir can even gain members in this situation, against the trend. When asked about her first meeting with the troupe, Olena Radko (choir director) replies succinctly and forcefully, “It was love at first sight.”
However, the Moravski Choir needs, among other things, basic equipment and support in various areas in order to continue and develop. The association wants to protect this unusual choir, promote it on its way and develop projects in an international framework to encourage an exchange between Germany and Ukraine.

Rehearsal room for Moravski
Palace of Culture “Pechersk”: The Moravski Chamber Choir does not have a fixed rehearsal room until today, which means a high level of organization with about 35 members. There have even been outdoor rehearsals! A piano was often not ready for use or not even available in the first place. Under these circumstances, a choir cannot build repertoire and has difficulty developing.
