‘Ukrainian Fantasy’

This is the collective title for Mariia Yaremak’s projects, which combine modern arrangements of traditional Ukrainian melodies with her own original compositions, inspired by events in Ukraine and its history.

It all began with the release of Mariia Yaremak’s works, which garnered several million views on social media. This later evolved into a concert programme, her first fantasy book “The Musical Tales of Ukraine”, and the concept for a symphonic show.
