Trends of “Dzyga” activity: 

“JazzClub.L’viv”

“JazzClub.L’viv” was founded in 2008  and gathered together L’viv musical circles with the aim to develop and to popularize  high-quality jazz . One of the Club’s  intentions is to help and to promote young musicians, to find out the most effective ways of  jazz festivals & concerts’ arrangement.  Not to forget the information exchange & collaboration with cultural circles of other cities.  The Club intends to assist   L’viv jazz  to enter the most prominent European jazz stages….

The “membership”  of “JazzClub.L’viv” unites  more than 200 musicians, music fans, critics.  The founders of the Club are Art Association “Dzyga”, L’viv   jazzmen Mark Tokar, Dana Vynnyts’ka, Ihor Hnydyn, Anastasiya Lytvynyuk, Martyn Tverdun & Serhiy Kosenko ,  Markiyan Ivaschyshyn, lovers of music & music experts

Literary café “Cabinet”

Literary café “Cabinet”  (12,Vynnychenko Str.)  has already  managed to become the base of L’viv   literary get-togethers.  Every one Wednesday  (or even several times a week) it will host literary meetings with writers, critics or culture experts, presentation of books and “covens” of different literary groups.  The unchallenged & permanent ( for ever) curator of literary meetings is Yuriy Kucheryavyj, culture expert & poet. Currently “Cabinet” has accumulated more than 200 literary actions & events. 

“Voices On-line”

Project “Voices On-line”    presents  audio records of prose pieces & poetry “voiced”  by their authors. “Dzyga.R”  Recording Studio under the leadership of Roman Lozyns’kyj  ensures all the process and then “voices” start their new autonomous life in Internet network. Access is free and “voices” are  ready to give the birth to  further  creative activities.

Literary podcasts «kabi.net»

The project “kabi.net”  is a joint project of  the  blogger afendy & Yurijy Kuthcerjavyj.  Weekly, usually on Wednesdays Yuriy Kucherjavyj  organizes and moderates different literary events in the  café “Cabinet”. Meantime efendy  makes the records of  them. Then after the  proper processing those records are presented in Internet as weekly  podcusts.  Project kabi.net is aimed to give the possibility to keep trace of  present-day  literary  newer processes in Ukraine /and not only/.
