Yevhen Stankovych is a prominent Ukrainian composer whose significant contributions to the world of classical music have not only enriched his nation's cultural heritage but have also won him international acclaim. Born on September 19, 1942, in the city of Svaliava, his music education began at the Lviv Music School and matured at the Kyiv Conservatory, where he studied under the tutelage of Borys Lyatoshynsky and Myroslav Skoryk. Throughout his prolific career, Stankovych has composed a diverse range of works, including symphonies, chamber pieces, and ballet scores, which are imbued with a deep understanding of Western classical traditions and a profound connection to Eastern European folk music.

Conveying a rich tapestry of emotions through his compositions, Stankovych is revered for the individuality of his orchestral language and the ability to bridge traditional and contemporary elements. His recent releases, such as "Yevhen Stankovych: Chamber Works," "Ukrainian Poeme," and "Yevhen Stankovych: Music for Violin & Piano," underscore his mastery of intimate musical forms, while the powerful "Stankovych: Symphonies Nos. 1, 2 & 4," available in two recordings, showcases his command of large-scale orchestral forces. Not only has Stankovych received numerous accolades for his artistic endeavors, but his works also continue to be performed by orchestras and appreciated by audiences globally, establishing him as one of the major figures in contemporary classical music.
