I got ready quickly, rushing after work to catch a concert in the city center. I was imagining the piano passages of Evgeny Khmara and a virtuosic performance of French chanson. I must have been only slightly

EN Hello, everyone. Spring is a kind of annual lecture we all attend—one where the subject remains the same, but the lessons feel new every time. I love exploring these cozy Lviv courtyards. Damp laundry

Вчора був день народження Володимира Івасюка, чия музика була актом свободи. Моя подруга покликала мене на концерт. Я одягнула сукню і пішла на цю зустріч. Коли заходиш у залу , то простір розширюється
