ABOUT ‘HOMIN’
A
professional musical ensemble created with the aim of promoting choral art and
embodying the best practices and achievements in the field of Ukrainian music.
The choir works with a wide range of musical culture, reviving it and inspiring
people, revealing the beauty of choral singing to a wide audience. One of the
ensemble's key tasks is to reveal the beauty of Ukrainian songs to listeners.
The Lviv choir ‘Homin’ was founded in 1988 at the regional branch of the Music
Society of Ukraine.
Over its
more than 30-year history, the Homin choir has given dozens of successful
performances in Ukraine and abroad, popularising Ukrainian choral music (in the
USA, France, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Great Britain, Serbia, Spain
and Sweden), and has won numerous choral competitions.
Together
with the Culture Department of the Lviv City Council, the Homin choir has
repeatedly organised cultural and educational events abroad, as well as choral
festivals in Lviv: the Lviv Meetings International Choral Music Festival and
the Praise the Lord from Heaven Regional Choral Festival.
REPERTOIRE
The choir's
repertoire consists of songs by Ukrainian composers, folk and rebel songs,
works by European and American choral composers, and contemporary music. Among
the choir's most popular programmes are Christmas concerts featuring Ukrainian
and international carols, spiritual music by Ukrainian composers, patriotic
programmes, and original programmes of contemporary music.
HOMIN AND THE ORGAN HALL
In 2023,
the HOMIN choir joined the Lviv Organ Hall with the aim of synergising the
efforts, experience and practices of both organisations. In August 2023, Vadym
Yatsenko became the choir's chief conductor and artistic director. Under his
leadership, the newly formed HOMIN successfully represented Ukraine at the
International Choir Festival in Lund, Sweden, in October of the same year.
On the
stage of the Lviv Organ Hall, the municipal choir ‘HOMIN’ regularly presents
new programmes and participates in joint projects with soloists of the Organ
Hall, the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Luhansk Regional Philharmonic, as
well as guest conductors. Recordings of the choir's performances regularly
appear on the Ukrainian Live Classic YouTube channel.
The HOMIN
Choir was recognised as the best choir of 2024 in Ukraine according to the
national rating of the Ukrinform news agency ‘Infobum-Classical Music 2024’.
In 2025 HOMIN Choir had 200 shows in Ukraine and
Europe, and in 2026 planning to do more than 250 shows in Ukraine, Europe, UK,
USA and Canada.
