With Maidan, Valentin Silvestrov continues his longstanding association with ECM and this time presents a programme of choir music that is as timely as it is dear to the Ukrainian composer's heart. Like the albums Sacred Songs and Sacred Works, Maidan embraces Silvestrov's composing for vocal ensemble and captures the Kyiv Chamber Choir under Mykola Hobdych in an impassioned performance at the St. Michael's Cathedral in Kyiv from 2016. The album is released as Silvestrov turns 85.
