Kamianka Music Fest

Kamianka Music Fest is an annual open-air cultural festival in the town of Kamianka, Cherkasy Oblast. It celebrates Ukrainian classical and contemporary music traditions under the open sky, featuring performances by chamber ensembles, organists, jazz bands and notable artists. The festival highlights musical heritage by presenting works of Ukrainian composers like Borys Lyatoshynsky, as well as jazz and poetry performances. For visitors, the historic setting of Kamianka’s park adds a unique atmosphere, blending folk motifs (the park was once owned by Taras Shevchenko) with high-art concerts and community celebrations.

Kamianka has a rich cultural history in central Ukraine, known for its palace and park which were favored by poet Taras Shevchenko. The village historically fostered the arts, and the festival continues this legacy by bridging rural heritage with classical culture. The event is organized by local authorities and cultural institutions aiming to revive local musical traditions in a region proud of its Ukrainian literary and cultural roots.
