Leontovych Music Society

On February 1, 1921, a large group of cultural figures, professors, and students gathered at the Lysenko music school to commemorate 9 days after Mykola Leontovych's death, according to Christian ritual.

The organizing committee included composers Kyrylo Stetsenko, Boris Lyatoshinsky, Mykhailo Verykivsky, Hryhoriy Veryovka art critics Klyment Kvitka, Dmytro Revutsky, Boleslav Yavorsky, theatre director Les Kurbas, poet Pavlo Tychyna and others.

From 1923 to January 1928 (that is, until the last month of the Society's existence) Kyiv (singles in Kharkiv and Odesa) hosted the Galician Music Evenings, which featured works by Stanislav Lyudkevych, Vasyl Barvinsky, Ostap Nyzhankivsky, Filaret Kolessa, Denis Sichinsky; evenings in memory of Ivan Franko, meetings with Filaret Kolessa and Vasyl Barvinsky are held.

The results of this contest were following: At the beginning of 1926, a group of composers from the Kharkiv branch openly accused the Society of pursuing the Ukrainian nationalist line and deviating from the tasks of revolutionary proletarian art.
