Partes Ensemble
It has become a tradition during the festive season: our alternative Christmas soundtrack. Partes Ensemble presents Ukrainian baroque masterpieces from the 17th and 18th centuries, when Kyiv and Lviv were crossroads of musical traditions. Theorist-composer Mykola Dyletsky brought Italian influences to the East, while child prodigy Maksym Berezovsky took the choral concerto to new heights. From mighty twelve-part chants to refined miniatures, an enchanting winter wonderland unfolds.
