I’m glad to say that after several years, the movement of musical contests in Ukraine has gained significant momentum.

In addition, I’m also glad that new nominations are added to the Music Olympiad almost annually, such as the groups of nominations “For outstanding knowledge of Music Theory”, “Best performance on Harpsichord”, which had been introduced in 2019.

Hence, I wish each participant great inspiration and vivid impressions! And to the organizers – successful hosting of the next Olympiad and implementation of new ideas!
