Sigmund Friends

We invite you to the Sigmund Friends concert at the Franko Theatre. In an intimate atmosphere, you will meet musicians who have long become iconic figures of the modern Ukrainian scene. Combining many years of experience, impeccable technique, and a love of improvisation, they have created a project that goes far beyond traditional jazz. Come and see for yourself!

Jazz super trio

Sigmund Friends – is the result of fruitful collaboration of three musicians from two of the most popular Ukrainian bands, whose names are well known to domestic music lovers:

• Pavlo Lytvynenko – pianist, keyboardist, and music producer of the band “Boombox”. He wrote music for the album “Lyudy”, collaborated with David Gilmour, Dennis Adu, Maru, and other artists;
• Denys Dudko – double bassist and bass guitarist of the band “Okean Elzy”, co-author of the legendary hit “Obiymy”, participant of Maru and Denys Dudko Sextet;
• Oleksandr Lyulyakin – drummer of the band “Boombox”, composer of the theatrical production Burning Doors, which was included in the list of the best performances of the year according to The New York Times.

The participants themselves emphasize that they do not strive to be a classical jazz trio – their music lives beyond genre boundaries. That is why each participant brings their own style, many years of experience, and musical vision to the sound of Sigmund Friends, resulting in a unique sound based on freedom, interaction, and live improvisation.
