Myroslav Skoryk

about

Myroslav Skoryk (Ukrainian: Скорик Мирослав Михайлович, born July 12, 1938 in Lviv) is a famous Ukrainian composer with very diverse and impressive compositions. His music is contemporary in style and contains stylistic traits from two disparate folk traditions: Ukrainian and American. Myroslav Skoryk was born in Western Ukraine's main city of Lviv, which at that time was in Poland. His parents were both educated in Austria at the University of Vienna and both subsequently became educators. His father was a historian and an ethnographer, while his mother was an accomplished chemist. Although his parents did not have special musical training, his mother played piano and his father played the violin. Their son, young Myroslav, was exposed to music in the household from an early age and took a particular liking to it. Although his parents influenced Myroslav's early interest in music, no less important was the fact that in his family was a very famous diva of the 20th century, Myroslav Skoryk's great aunt was the famous Ukrainian soprano Solomea Krushelnitska. In 1939 Lviv was taken over by the Soviert Union as part of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Under the new Soviet regime many Ukrainian intellectuals were persecuted, including the Skoryk family which lost a number of members. In 1940 Lviv was occupied by the Nazis. During the Nazi occupation Skoryk's family vented their opposition to the previous Soviet regime. With the return of Soviet forces, Skoryk's family were deported
