A presentation of a model of a memorial plaque to the famous Ukrainian musician and our fellow countryman Andriy Kuzmenko (Kuzma Skryabin) took place at the Novyi Rozdil Children’s Art School named after Oleh Rudnytskyi.
The memorial plaque project is another step towards preserving the memory of the legendary artist, who spent part of his childhood in Novyi Rozdil. It is planned that the plaque will be installed on the building where Andriy Kuzmenko lived with his family. The author of the model is a well-known sculptor from Novyi Rozdil, Yaroslav Kostko.
The event’s atmosphere was enhanced by the warm words of the musician’s father, Viktor Kuzmenko, who shared sincere memories of his son with those present. \”This is an important step in preserving the memory of Andriy,\” Viktor Kuzmenko noted.
The musical accompaniment of the event was provided by: the bandura ensemble of the Novyi Rozdil Art School named after O. Rudnytskyi (leader — Nataliia Harbazh), school student Vladyslav Hrokhola (teacher — Pavlo Mykhailiuk), duet of Tetiana Shyiika and Viktoriia Brych (Youth Center of the village of Berezyna).
We express our sincere gratitude to everyone who contributed to the organization and holding of this event.
