Songs and dumas dedicated to the defenders and new musical instruments presented to the students of the Kobzar guild, who preserve and continue Ukrainian traditions, \u2014 these were events during the annual Kobzar Trinity festival held in the open-air museum.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The festival traditionally gathers kobzars, bandurists, and lirnyks from all over Ukraine \u2014 Kharkiv, Lviv, Kyiv, and other regions. The event is intended to renew and promote the Kobzar tradition. MHP-Gromadi Charitable Foundation, which continuously supports cultural projects promoting Ukrainian identity, was among the event co-organizers.<\/p>\n

The Foundation supported the event and again presented musical instruments to the Kyiv Kobzar guild. Students of the musician Vitaliy Kobzar from Irpin were given the Kobza of Veresai. Another folk instrument, bandura, was given to Yaroslav, a young musician and an apprentice of Serhiy Perehozhuk from the Kyiv Kobzar Guild.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the war, the Kobzar-Lirnyk traditions got a new life. They are about shaping new values \u200b\u200band meanings, our self-perception as Ukrainians, and discovering our roots. Kobzars, bandurists, and lirnyks will keep such unique knowledge about our people. Therefore, our MHP-Gromadi Charitable Foundation supports these events and projects to make more Ukrainians aware of this tradition and to help musicians communicate with one another and get inspired. And to motivate students to learn this art, we present musical instruments to Kobzar Guilds,\u201d <\/strong>said Oleksandr Pakholiuk, <\/strong>director of the MHP-Gromadi CF.<\/span><\/p>\n

To preserve Kobzar traditions, the Foundation also supported the idea of \u200b\u200badding the \u201cPractice for the Safeguarding of the Kobzar-Lirnyk Tradition\u201d to UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage last year and gave musical instruments to three Kobzar Guilds (Kyiv, Lviv, and Kharkiv).<\/p>\n

\u201cKobzar traditions are an important part of our cultural heritage and national identity. Kobzar dumas and ballads tell the history of our people. Therefore, it is important to pass them on to the younger generation. This annual festival is one of the events helping Ukrainians learn more about their own culture,\u201d <\/strong>added Oles Sanin, <\/strong>film director and co-organizer of the Kobzar Trinity festival.<\/span><\/p>\n

The final event of the festival was a charity concert. Folk performers presented traditional dumas, historical and Cossack songs, cantus, and psalms, which were once the main part of the repertoire of folk rhapsodists.<\/p>\n
