This is an automatically translated description

The intellectual biography of a prominent figure of the Ukrainian musical world of post-war emigration - Ukrainian musicologist and conductor Myroslav Antonovych (1917-2006) is studied.

After emigrating to the Netherlands in the late 1940s, throughout his life, his activities were associated with the University of Utrecht. M. Antonovych's scientific work and his conducting activities with the Byzantine Choir constituted a special dimension of the emigration culture of the postwar decades. They testify to the understanding of his own national tradition as a part of European culture, to the acquisition of his «European identity» as a conscious and accepted intercultural coexistence, provided that his own identity is preserved.

The book is based on the materials of M. Antonovych's archive, personally transferred to the Institute of Church Music of the Ukrainian Catholic University (Lviv).

For music historians, scholars in the field of musical cultural studies, art history, music performance, and music diaspora studies.
