Recital at The Shevchenko Scientific Society

The concert at the Shevchenko Hall was presented in collaboration with a cellist Marianna Zmiievska (Ukraine), whose artistic contribution played a central role in shaping the overall concept of the program. The performance was built around dialogue and mutual musical responsibility rather than a soloistic display.

The program explored contrasts of texture, character, and form, requiring close coordination and shared interpretative decisions. Particular attention was given to ensemble balance, phrasing, and structural clarity.

This concert reflected an active stage of collaborative work and artistic exchange, emphasizing precision, listening, and a shared musical direction.

Carnegie Hall Recital

On January 16, I performed a solo piano recital at Carnegie Hall in New York. This appearance represented an important professional milestone and a significant moment in my artistic development.

The program consisted of solo piano works from the Romantic and early twentieth-century repertoire, focusing on music that combines structural clarity, expressive depth, and stylistic integrity. The selection reflected my long-term artistic interests and approach to interpretation.

Performing at Carnegie Hall, a venue with exceptional acoustic qualities and a distinguished musical legacy, was both a responsibility and a valuable artistic experience. I am grateful for the opportunity to present my work in such a context and for the support of everyone who contributed to this performance.

Master’s degree

I am pleased to share an important academic milestone — I have successfully defended my Master’s degree.

The title of my Master’s thesis is: “Folk Themes in Mykola Lysenko’s Works: The Case of the Composer’s Two Rhapsodies on Ukrainian Themes, Op. 8 and Op. 18.” The thesis focuses on the role of folk music in Mykola Lysenko’s compositional language, with particular attention given to his two Rhapsodies on Ukrainian Themes. The research explores how deeply Ukrainian folk traditions are embedded in Lysenko’s musical thinking and how they shape both the form and expressive character of these works.

“Mr. Dorofeiev has demonstrated extensive knowledge of the subject and a strong command of the topic. The work is based on a thorough and well-structured analysis, which convincingly confirms the stated thesis and clearly demonstrates how deeply rooted folk music was in the compositional output of Mykola Lysenko.”
