We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of Sergiy Bolotny’s new solo violin work, "Reflections: Oh, Human Destiny" (Part I of Three Echoes on Ukrainian Themes), coming to all digital platforms on October 23.
"This piece departs from outward virtuosity to focus on stillness and emotional exhaustion. By contrasting an unyielding, mechanical pulse with a fragile Ukrainian folk melody, it explores the beauty of emptiness, human vulnerability, and the deep emotional toll of war."
Save the date: October 23, 2026 on Spotify, Apple Music, and all streaming services.
