Kyiv avant-garde: Anthology of chamber music
Kyiv, 2020
Curator 

The 2020 Kyiv Avant-garde: Chamber Music Anthology includes scores and parts from the works of sixties-generation composers: Leonid Hrabovsky, Vitaliy Hodziatsky, Volodymyr Huba, and Volodymyr Zahortsev. Many of the pieces in the Anthology were prepared from primary sources, with some published for the first time.

The publication developed by the Ukrainian Institute includes an introductory article by Dr. Yurii Chekan, available in Ukrainian, English, and German. Musicologist and composer Oleksii Voitenko compiled the collection, with pianist Yevhen Gromov serving as editor. 

Musical Ukraine published the printed collection in 300 copies, intended for free distribution. Due to high demand, the Anthology was reprinted in 2024. Scores are available for free download on the Ukrainian Institute's website.
