The evening "National Legend Igor Poklad" planned at the Palace of Ukraine looks like one of those events where you don’t just go for a concert, but for a heartfelt meeting with the musical memory of the country. It is an evening in memory of the outstanding composer, Hero of Ukraine, and People's Artist of Ukraine, with a program featuring well-known songs accompanied by a symphonic orchestra.
Why it might be worth your evening
If you are fond of Ukrainian pop classics, great songs, and warm, emotional concerts without rush, this event has every chance to resonate with you. The Palace's page states that the concert will take place on October 4 at 18:00, with doors opening at 17:00; the venue is the Great Hall at the Palace of Ukraine in Kyiv.
The organizers describe it as an evening of music, memory, and gratitude to the Maestro on the eve of his 85th anniversary. The event page also notes that many famous Ukrainian artists have confirmed their participation, including Iryna Bilyk, DOROFEEVA, DZIDZIO, VERKA SERDUCHKA, Olya Polyakova, Tina Karol, Kozlovsky, Ponomaryov, Jerry Heil, KOLA, SHUMEI, and others.
What to know before your visit
The event takes place at the Palace of Ukraine, so expect a large concert format and appropriate scale. According to the venue's poster, tickets on this page start from 600 UAH.
If you love intimacy, this evening might seem too grand in scale. But if you want a truly solemn, strong, and shared experience of Ukrainian music, then this is exactly the case where it makes sense to go.
In other words, if you are close to Igor Poklad's work or want to spend the evening in the company of familiar voices and great songs, this event looks very promising. Would you go to such an evening of memory?
