Ukrainian musicologist Stanislav Nevmerzytskyi has spent more than 10 years researching the history and theory of classical music, the work of modern Ukrainian classical composers. Now he has decided to study the works of the Ukrainian composer Maxim Shalygin. He is one of the representatives of the young generation of composers who have achieved great success in Europe and Ukraine.
Stanislav travels from Kyiv to the Netherlands to visit the composer. There he discovers the secrets of the composer’s work, immerses himself in the atmosphere of his music and reveals the exciting problems of creativity and classical music.
The composer takes Stas into the world of musical creation. Together with Maxim Shalygin, Stas visits the industrial cities of Ukraine and the picturesque places of the Netherlands. We see behind the scenes of rehearsals and concerts. We can see the peculiarities of the creation of newly designed instruments, immerse ourselves in the composer’s thoughts, watch the writing of compositions and observe the life cycle of musical creation: from the moment of its conception to its performance at a concert.
