About the ensemble
Virtuosity, Passion and Energy
Founded in 2010, "Musical Souvenir" is a bright, dynamic 10-piece collective from Kharkiv, Ukraine, that dissolves the boundaries between academic virtuosity and pure, high-energy drive. The ensemble consists of professional musicians with an academic background in music. We perform on traditional and classical instruments: domras, button accordion (bayan), acoustic bass, and percussion.
The repertoire is a captivating mix of stylized folk crossover, virtuosic classical arrangements, jazz compositions, and gripping modern global hits.
The ensemble is also a welcome guest on international festival stages, including the FIMU Festival in Belfort, Kultursommer Wien and the International Festival of Tamburica Orchestras in Montenegro, among others.
In Las Vegas, they won second prize at the prestigious WORLD MUSIC TROPHY. They are also winners of the Star Wave Festival in Lviv and took first place at the international Star Children Festival in Odesa.
