Mykola Sukach works tirelessly to rekindle interest in the composer and seeks wherever possible to enthusiastically promote his music. It is Mykola Sukach life’s work to make the music of Bortkiewicz famous in Ukraine and all over the world and dreams of recording this music with his own orchestra. His orchestra have worked very hard to learn and perform new works and bring back to the Ukrainian people a composer most had never heard of – but which many are now enjoying and appreciating his beautiful music. To the people of Ukraine, Bortkiewicz is as much part of their culture and history as composers like Liatioshinsky, Kosenko or Lysenko. As Mykola Sukach said: “Bortkevych has his roots in Ukraine, his music is permeated with Ukrainian themes, profound intellectuality, and culture. This music deserves it to become standard repertoire in our music programs.”
