Abstrakt

In the 30s of the twentieth century, in the musical environment of the Drohobych region, many educated people were actively involved in the „enlightenment movement”, a cultural and creative practice involving broad layers of citizens to study the national traditions in order to preserve the cultural identity. Among them, Bohdan Piurko and Natalia Kulytska stood out as high-profile professional musicians who significantly contributed to the rise of the musical life of the region, in particular its professionalization.

B. Piurko taught piano and theoretical subjects at the branch of the M. Lysenko Higher Music Institute in Drohobych which he later headed. B. Piurko was actively engaged in the administrative, creative and pedagogical work. He also performed as a pianist, accompanist, and conductor.

Since the beginning of the 1920s, the activity of the branch of the M. Lysenko Higher Music Institute in Drohobych and classes in Boryslav has been closely connected with the name of Natalia Kulytska. She taught students to play the piano, performed as a constant accompanist of „Boryslavskyi Boyan”, was a member of the instrumental trio and the piano duo (together with B. Piurko).

N. Kulytska and B. Piurko as teachers have trained many professionals who later made a significant contribution to the development of musical culture of the Drohobych region. As talented performers, they embarked on the path of musical enlightenment demonstrating the achievements of Western European and Ukrainian masters to the citizens, influencing their needs and interests, enriching and activating their spiritual life.
