In the modern times perhaps every human being is seeking for revival of spiritual values required for establishment of healthy society and progressive development of upcoming generations. It was the main motive for Lila chorus to be founded in 2001 in Kyiv. Our aim is spiritual awakening of every human being by means of treasures of the world’s music.
The goal of our concert programs is:
- revival of spirituality in culture and arts;
- discovery of deep traditions in european and world culture;
- insight into novel methods in musical therapy;
- return to moral and healthy lifestyle
The mission of a musician is to reduce the distance between the Creator and his creation. A. Khan
