Lviv National Philharmonic named after Myroslav Skoryk is a philharmonic located in Lviv, Ukraine. The philharmonic received the status of a national one in 2017.[1]

History

[edit]

The Lviv Philharmonic began its work in 1902 on the premises of the former Scarbeck Theater (now the Maria Zankovetska National Academic Ukrainian Drama Theater). In 1933, Adam Soltys founded the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Lviv Philharmonic. In 1939, the Philharmonic was granted state status. Since 1944, the philharmonic's symphony orchestra has been performing regularly.

The Philharmonic is home to the Academic Symphony Orchestra, the Lviv Virtuosos Academic Chamber Orchestra, High Castle Academic Instrumental Ensemble, the bandura quartet "Lvivianky", and the ensemble "19th Class".

On August 18, 2017, the Verkhovna Rada approved the draft Decree of the President of Ukraine "On Granting the Lviv Regional Philharmonic the Status of a National Institution."[1]

On September 29, 2020, the Lviv Regional Council named the Philharmonic after Myroslav Skoryk.[2][3]

Chamber scene

Building

[edit]
Big Concert Hall (Stanislav Ludkevich Concert Hall)

In 1905, architect Władysław Halytskyi, commissioned by the Halychyna Musical Society, designed the society's building in the Neo-Baroque style. It was planned to house a conservatory and a concert hall, and part of the building was to be used as a revenue house. Construction began in 1905, but the following year it was continued in the Vienna Secession style by architect Władysław Sadłowski. The sculptural decoration of the building's facades, including reliefs depicting musical instruments and two metal sculptures of swans in the attic, was made by sculptor Piotr Witalis Harasimowicz, and the interior of the two-tiered concert hall was decorated with busts of composers by sculptor Luna Drexlerówna. The project of the building was exhibited in 1910 at an exhibition of Polish architects in Lviv.[4][5][6][7]

In the postwar period, the building housed the concert hall of the Lysenko Conservatory[8] and since the 1940s it has been home to the Lviv Regional Philharmonic. The Philharmonic building is listed in the Register of Architectural Monuments of Local Significance under protection number 374-m.[9]
