Lviv residents and visitors are invited to visit a range of music events, devoted to the 30 anniversary of Ukrainian Independence.

«BIGSHOW Agency» is organising a number of summer concerts in the Metropolitan Gardens (near the Cathedral of St. George) within the project «Ukraine 30». They are dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Ukraine’s Independence and offered for Lviv residents as well as guests of the city, revealing all the variety of forms and genres of the musical soul of Ukraine (from ethnic to classical music).

The project starts on June 18 with a concert «Legends of World Jazz» at 19:30. This is a special program from the project «ShockolaD» – some of the best jazzmen in Ukraine and whole Eastern Europe. The leaders of the project who will perform on the stage are: drummer Ihor Hnydyn; pianist Anastasia Litvinyuk; bluesman and groove bassist Andrew Cohan; saxophonist with passionate improvisations Andriy Dulish. And, of course, the original and bright vocalists Yulia Shved and Pavlo Ilnytskyi (who is called «Ukrainian Sinatra»). The musicians will perform legendary jazz and popular hits by Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Michael Jackson, Bill Withers, Ray Charles and Ukrainian retro hits in their own arrangements.
