Fedir Kurkchi

A special place in this artist’s creative work belongs to Ukrainian folk musical instruments. Ceramic ocarinas, whistles and khykhychkas (ceramic musical noise instruments having a shape of a sphere often used to serve as rattles for children) – all the instruments that have reached us from great antiquity and used to be widespread in many nations – earlier often used to be involved in different magical and spiritual ceremonies. Nowadays, one can listen to such instruments at the concerts of ethnical music.
