Maksym Shadko performs Lyatoshynsky Slavonic Concerto

ZDF/Arte

“EuroPiano – Tune in to Europe in Harmony!”—that was an 8-hour, one-of-a-kind musical event broadcast on ARTE on June 21, 2026. From Lisbon to Stockholm and Athens to Kyiv, the great piano masterpieces were performed in a single day by outstanding pianists of our time.

The concert from Kyiv served as the grand finale. Ukrainian pianist Maksym Shadko, born in 1993 in Kharkiv, performed Borys Lyatoshynsky’s “Slavonic Concerto“—an early key work of Ukrainian modernism. Under the musical direction of Keri-Lynn Wilson, the National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine performed alongside the Kyiv Camerata at the National Philharmonic in Kyiv.
