Музика і мода: Капела Ревуцького на показі GASANOVA


Капела імені Левка Ревуцького взяла участь у яскравій події світу моди — показі відомого українського бренду GASANOVA, що відбувся 14 жовтня 2024 року в Українському домі.
Виступ колективу розпочався з культового твору Карла Орфа “O, Fortuna” — потужного музичного символу долі та драматизму, який одразу створив енергетичний настрій вечора.
Хорове виконання у колаборації з Академічним камерним хором “Хрещатик” стало одним із найбільш емоційних моментів показу.
Подія об’єднала музику й моду в єдиний простір емоцій, стилю та краси. Хорове звучання підкреслило естетику колекції GASANOVA, додавши глибини та величі сучасному fashion-дійству.
Капела Ревуцького продовжує відкривати нові творчі формати та демонструвати, що академічне хорове мистецтво може бути сучасним, актуальним і натхненним.
