Career

Sadovska was born in Lviv in western Ukraine and graduated from the Lviv State Music School " Stanislaw Lyudkewytsch " with a focus on classical piano training. In 1991 she studied theater at the Less-Kurbass-Theater in Lviv and until 2001 she worked as an actress and musical director at the Gardzienice Theater in Poland, in whose ensemble she appeared at international festivals and projects. During this time she began to be interested in indigenous music and consciously transcending different cultural and musical traditions.

A grant from the Earth Foundation enabled her to move to New York City for a year in 2001, where she worked with the La MaMa Experimental Theater Club and Anthony Coleman , and also gave her first solo concerts. Produced by Global Village Records , their first CD Songs I learned was released in Ukraine in 2002 .

Mariana Sadovska has lived in Cologne since 2002 , but continues to perform regularly in the USA. She was responsible for the music in a production by the Forum Free Theater . In 2005 the second CD Borderland followed in collaboration with Coleman and Doug Wieselman . In 2006 she received the creole NRW prize for world music .

In addition to her concerts, she gives acting and vocal workshops worldwide, for example in Poland, Israel, UK, Italy, the USA and in 2005 at the university and the National Theater in Kabul. As musical director she belongs to the regular ensemble of the Cologne theater collective Futur3 .

With her band Borderland (musicians: Jarry Singla , Peter Kahlenborn and Sebastian Gramss ) she plays a repertoire of newly arranged traditional songs and texts from the Ukraine, which were also published on the CD Just not forever .

In 2012 Mariana Sadovska played her solo Odessa Underground for the first time and made guest appearances a. a. at the Mute Night Festival in Odessa and the transVOCALE festival in Frankfurt (Oder) . The concert program is a hauntingly emotional night tour through the bars and nightclubs of Odessa, Berlin and Paris in the period between the First World War and the Second World War. The program includes pieces by the singers and poets Arkady Severny , Dina Verni and Alexander Wertinski .

On July 5, 2013 the world premiere of her work for voice and string quartet with the title Chernobyl.The Harvest took place in Kiev . It was interpreted by the Kronos Quartet and Mariana Sadovska (vocals, Indian harmonium). The composition focuses on the Chernobyl nuclear disaster , as the epitome of destructive man-made environmental disasters and a symbol of real and cultural death. For this commissioned composition for the Kronos Quartet, Mariana Sadovska was inspired by elements of archaic-ceremonial music in northern Ukraine, which find expression in a “pagan requiem” through their own contemporary sound language. The US premiere took place on July 25, 2013 at the Lincoln Center Out Of Doors Festival .

As part of the tff Rudolstadt festival , Mariana Sadovska received the main prize of the RUTH 2013 German World Music Prize. The jury stated: “With Mariana Sadovska, an exceptional artist will be awarded the RUTH 2013 main prize. She is almost restlessly looking for new forms of expression for songs that have their origins in Ukraine: Mariana Sadovska, who like few has what it takes to artistically implement what she has researched (meticulously), is also an internationally recognized composer and (stage) Artist."

On the occasion of this award ceremony, she presented her new stage program Cut The Cord with Christian Thomé (drums, zither, electronics) and Janko Hanuchevsky (electric bass) as a guest. The ten new pieces focus on the current social situation in Ukraine.
