Abstract

The purpose of the work is to identify the passionate role of personalities in the history of the Lviv Chamber Orchestra «Academia». The article is devoted to the activities of the Lviv Chamber Orchestra «Academia», considered through the prism of the idea of personalism. The study traces how the personalistic intentions of prominent artists initiated the creation of the collective, outlines the stages of the orchestra's functioning and analyzes the influence of the personalities of leaders and conductors on its development in the period from the second half of the 20th century to the beginning of the 21st century, namely, until 1920.The methodology. The research issues led to the use of a complex interaction of a number of theoretical and empirical methods, such as: systemic (in the holistic study of Lviv chamber and orchestral performance as an artistic phenomenon), historical (in the study of the foundation and further development of the Chamber Orchestra «Academia»), typological (in the analysis of personality types of leaders and conductors), analytical (in the study of trends in the development of the «Academia» Orchestra), observation (in the targeted study of the object of research), interview (in the identification of the role of personalistic intentions in the development of the Chamber Orchestra «Academia»).The scientific novelty of the study lies in substantiating the concept of the activities of the Chamber Orchestra «Academia» in the period from its foundation in 1950 to 1920 as a result of the implementation of the personalistic intentions of its leaders and conductors.Conclusions. The history of the Lviv Chamber Orchestra «Academia» over the sixty years of its existence (from 1959 to2020) is clearly divided into two major periods, the specificity of which is determined by the personalistic factor, that is, the peculiarities of the work of the group's leaders. In the first period, this is mainly the activity of the artistic director Oleksandra Derkach, as well as the concertmaster-leader Matis Weitzner and the assistant concertmaster, and later, the concertmaster and leader Volodymyr Zaransky. In the second, this is the activity of the artistic director and conductor Myroslav Skoryk, the concertmaster-leader Artur Mykytka and the conductor Igor Pylatyuk, who passed the "orchestra school" as its participants in the first period of development.
