March 1, 2008, Head of the Supervisory Board of the Ukraine 3000 International Charitable Foundation Kateryna Yushchenko attended a soiree dedicated to the 140th anniversary of the Kyiv State Glier Music High School. Among other participants of the event hosted by the National Opera of Ukraine were Deputy Head of the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine Yuri Bohutsky, Head of the Humanitarian Policy Department at the Secretariat of the President of Ukraine Oleksandr Bystrushkin, and Head of the Board of Directors of the Ukraine 3000 Foundation Oleksandr Maksymchuk.
Addressing the audience, Mr. Maksymchuk conveyed greetings from the Board of Directors and Supervisory Board of the Ukraine 3000 Foundation. “In the 140 years of the Glier School history its professors helped thousands of talents to flower,” he said.
Head of the Board of Directors of the Ukraine 3000 Foundation said that supporting young talents was among the Fund’s priorities. “This is why the Fund has been sponsoring the International Horowitz Memorial Young Pianists Competition founded by the School in 1995,” he said.
Besides, Mr. Maksymchuk said that on the initiative of Head of the Supervisory Board of the Foundation Kateryna Yushchenko the Fund was launching an annual grant program for Glier School students to help them improve their skills. The grant will equal one year’s increased scholarship. The first grant holders will be Ivanka Oliynyk (1st year, Brass Dept.), Khrystyna Fedyk (4th year, String Dept.), and Halyna Vysotska (4th year, Folk Instruments Dept.).
The Kyiv State Glier Music High School was founded January 18, 1868. It was Ukraine’s first school for performing musicians. Today the school trains pianists, string section performers, brass, percussion, and folk instruments players, choir singers, choir and orchestra conductors, pop singers, sound producers, and musicologists. In 2007 the School was reorganized into the Kyiv Glier Music Institute, offering its students complete higher musical education course.
