Throughout Wonderfeel you’ll be able to hear various Ukrainian musicians and composers, but what do we really know about the Ukrainian musical culture? Four Ukrainian musicians introduce you to its riches, in a talk led by Lex Bohlmeijer. With a backdrop of war, which sadly is prevalent in their lives at the moment. Denys Karachevtsev still lives in Kharkiv and Natacha Kudritskaya is sheltering her mother, who fled Ukraine, at home in France. Maxim Shalygin, who lives in The Netherlands, tells us about Drop after Drop, which he composed in response to the Russian invasion in Ukraine.

Maxim Shalygin - composer
Denys Karachevtsev - cellist
Natacha Kudritskaya - pianist
