Comment

This commemorative coin is dedicated to an ensemble that has established its own choral traditions and performance style, and which has presented the art of Ukrainian choral music on multiple tours. Founded in 1919 as the Ukrainian State Travelling Capella (DUMKA is an acronym of this name in Ukrainian, while the word at the same time means “a thought”), the choir has created a unique Slavic interpretation of Western European classics, filled with lyricism, beautiful timbres, and a dynamic palette. The present-day choir’s repertoire includes choral a cappella music (arrangements of folk songs and Western European music), vocal-symphonic music (by Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, Giusepe Verdi), and contemporary Ukrainian music (by Yevhen Stankovych, Valentyn Sylvestrov, Lesia Dychko, and Myroslav Skoryk).

There is a coin without a color pattern (pad printing).
