We’re excited to share two captivating performances by violinist Markiyan Melnychenko, celebrating the richness of Ukrainian music through both his debut CD and his latest publication. Both releases are now available in-store and online, and we’re proud to be the Australian stockist.

🎶 Postcards from Ukraine

Markiyan’s debut CD, Postcards from Ukraine, brings the soul and spirit of Ukrainian classical music to life, showcasing works that remain little known beyond their homeland.

In this video excerpt, Markiyan performs on the Andrea Schudtz violin, crafted in Cremona in 2024. The instrument’s warmth and colour perfectly complement the expressive depth of this music, creating a truly immersive listening experience.
