The world premiere of Ukrainian War Requiem
2024-04-14 15:00 | St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, 7007-109 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Edmonton – Axios Men’s Ensemble is honoured to present the world premiere of Ukrainian War Requiem by two-time Grammy nominee Benedict Sheehan, April 14 at 3 pm, at St. Basil’s Church (7007 109 street).
Following the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the Axios Men’s Ensemble commissioned composer and two-time Grammy Award nominee, Benedict Sheehan, to compose a Requiem to honour the countless victims who have lost their lives in this tragic war. The concert will feature Axios Men’s Ensemble, Pro Coro Canada, soloists from across North America and Ukraine and will be conducted by Michael Zaugg.
Two-time GRAMMY® nominee and American Prize-winner Benedict Sheehan has been called “a choral conductor and composer to watch in the 21st century” (ConcertoNet) and “a remarkable musician”. Sheehan’s music has been performed by many of today’s leading choral ensembles, including a 2022 collaboration with Austin’s GRAMMY® Award-winning Conspirare on a setting of the African-American manifesto Credo by W.E.B. DuBois, and the UK premiere of A Christmas Carol by the BBC Singers at the Barbican in London.

Ukrainian War Requiem
2024-04-14 14:30 - 18:00 | St. Basil’s Ukrainian Catholic Church, 7007-109 Avenue, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
The Axios Men’s Ensemble commissioned Benedict Sheehan, a two-time GRAMMY® Award nominee, to compose a Requiem in response to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine. This war, which began in 2014 and escalated with a full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022, has tragically claimed countless lives. The Requiem is a solemn tribute to these victims.
Sheehan’s composition, spanning 12 movements, draws inspiration primarily from the Byzantine burial service, a ritual shared by Eastern Catholic and Orthodox churches. Reflecting Ukraine’s diverse linguistic and religious landscape, the Requiem also weaves in elements from Jewish and Roman Catholic traditions. These varied texts serve multiple purposes: they offer solace and strength to the living, especially those grieving; they provide a space for praying for both victims and aggressors; and they ultimately aspire to convey hope, peace, and goodwill.
The premiere of this work promises to be a profound experience. It is an expansive and sublime piece that skillfully blends modern musical styles with traditional Ukrainian motifs and ancient chants. This arrangement not only reflects the harsh realities of war but also echoes humanity’s deep-seated longing for peace, goodness, truth, and beauty.
Featuring over 50 performers, the ensemble includes members of the Axios Men’s Ensemble, Pro Coro Canada—a professional choir based in Edmonton—and select soloists from North America and Ukraine. The performance will be under the direction of Maestro Michael Zaugg.
This Requiem is more than just music. It is a reverent homage to those affected by the war, a reminder of the enduring human spirit, and a heartfelt tribute to Ukraine and her people.

Description of Presentation:
War produces intense emotions that are frequently expressed in creative ways. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia has resulted in numerous such expressions communicated on the Internet. Frequently rooted in traditional curses, the Ukrainian folklore of anger may be disturbing to many Western outsiders who treat tolerance, positivity, and niceness as societal virtues. In line with a folkloristic approach rooted in the understanding of insider perspectives behind creative practices, I look at war-generated folklore by contextualizing the voices of its performers, namely, people directly affected by the Russian aggression. The concept of Russian systemic vernacular imperialism, as historically manifested in smaller-scale imaginaries and acts – in the words and behaviours of regular citizens – and its role in fueling the ongoing war can shed some light on complex human emotions in traumatic contexts. It can also contribute to ongoing scholarly efforts to decolonize regional studies involving Ukraine and other countries that have historically operated under the Russian orbit.

The Political, the Public, and the Possible
14-16 March, 2024
Telus International Centre, Room 134
University of Alberta
11104 87 St NW, Edmonton
Religion has served as a basis for nation-building and decolonization, state-building, and humanitarian relief. It has also been the source of social and political polarization. This international, interdisciplinary hybrid conference, Religion and War in Ukraine: The Political, the Public, and the
Possible, takes stock of the profound impact of war on religious life in Ukraine since the Russian full-scale invasion and launches an international conversation about the role the range of religious groups in Ukraine – Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim—can play after the war.
Sessions are free and open to the public. Registration is required.
