Émission #2 Réalisé par André Eric Letourneau en compagnie de Sandeep Bhagwati. un entretien avec un fascinant compositeur radical ukrainien qui vit aux USA : Leonid Hrabovsky, malheureusement trop méconnu.
Leonid Oleksandrovych Hrabovsky (born 28 January 1935) is a contemporary Ukrainian composer, now living in the United States.
Leonid Hrabovsky is one of the group of Ukrainian composers whose worksindicated the opening of the modernist era in Ukrainian music of the late 20 century.
Hrabovsky studied economics at Kiev University (1951–1956), and from 1954 composition under Boris Lyatoshynsky and Lev Revutsky at Kiev Conservatory which he graduated in 1959. His diploma work « Four Ukrainian Songs » for chorus and orchestra (1959) which won first prize in an all-union competition. Shostakovich wrote about this: ‘the Ukrainian Songs by Hrabovsky pleased me immensely—his arrangements attracted me by the freedom of treatment and good choral writing’.
In the early 1960s Hrabovsky taught theory and composition at the Kiev Conservatory. He belonged to group of the so-called Kiev avant-garde (as well as Hodzyatsky, Huba, Silvestrov, Yevhen Stankovych and Zahortsev). Leonid was active as a composer, editor, and translator. He was one of the first Soviet composers to adopt minimalism. His works include Dramatic, Orchestral, Chamber, Vocal Music and music for solo instruments. Hrabovsky’s works show Asian influences.
In 1981 he moved to Moscow. In 1987 he worked as an editor for « Sovetskaya muzika » magazine. In 1990 he moved to the US at the invitation of the Ukrainian Music Society. He settled in Brooklyn. Since 1990 to 1994 he was composer-in-residence at the Ukrainian Institute of America.
