The museum launches a monthly chamber concert programme directly in Lysenko's memorial apartment — Prayer for Ukraine as the culmination of each concert during wartime.
In March 2026 the Mykola Lysenko Memorial Apartment Museum launches the public cultural programme 'Lysenko at Home' — monthly chamber concerts directly in the premises of the memorial apartment at Saksahanskoho 95. Programme concept: to return Lysenko's music to the very sound environment where the composer created it. On the authentic Bechstein piano on which Lysenko himself played, performers interpret his works — from solo piano compositions to chamber ensembles and choral arrangements of Shevchenko texts.
Each concert programme: 1) solo piano section — etudes, nocturnes, rhapsodies by Lysenko from the period 1870-1900; 2) chamber ensemble — violin/piano, cello/piano trios; 3) choral block — Shevchenko arrangements (Testament, The Caucasus, The Rapids Roar); 4) culmination — 'Prayer for Ukraine' of 1885 with words by Oleksandr Konysky, which since 2022 has acquired new resonance as a concert requiem composition during the war (cross-ref Phase 2.12 wartime revival). Small format — maximum 30 viewers in the original parlour space. Performers — leading Ukrainian classical musicians from the Kyiv Philharmonic, Lviv Opera. Cross-ref Phase 3.10 Gramophone Museum recording partnership — each concert is recorded in studio quality for the archive.
