   Is this possible not to know Ukraine with its melodious songs, inflammatory dances and majestic rites? Is this possible not to be delighted with its culture because all history washed with bloody tears, all love for mother country brought along thorny paths through the centuries got mixed up here. But in spite of all these adversities we have succeeded to keep in our hearts all the most valuable things that make people from us. Just owing to them, these young and ardent people, we can feel once more how that spark of spiritual fire flames in our souls.



   All they are quite different everyone has his own life, his own world… The question appears automatically: what could unite them, what could become that only thing to which all their hearts had turned? Probably every Ukrainian will say you with confidence: "Music!" How much of magic is in this word, how many secrets are concealed and it can attract millions of people of all generations to itself.
   They have been working their ways in the life separately, not relying upon somebody and one would think whether their paths would ever cross each other? Though they knew each other and talked from time to time but never thought seriously to unite their future. They were studying at the same academy but in different time, singing in many choral collectives of their town. Seemed whether it is possible to find some new interests in common after many years of friendship? But certainly the fortune itself took care of them.
   And finally that long-expected moment has come - they have decided to establish their own group. One day they came to the friends' place where an idea to establish their independent collective appeared because they understood that they had something that would give them inspiration in their creative work. This was the most important step in their creative activity because nobody knew what destiny the "Orpheus" would have. They began to work together. For the first time they looked closely at each other, tried to looked into the very heart of the friend and then… their activity has progressed. Songs began to appear, as well as invitations for concerts and festivals. But no matter where they are, where they sing, they always keep a piece of Ukraine in themselves, its the most valuable part - the Ukrainian song; it leaves them nowhere, it is always with them.
   These young men have taken the heaviest burden on their shoulders - a wish to bring their most valuable, their closest, their dearest thing for people all over the world. And young men have established their group in one of the sweetest for their hearts places of Ukraine - in Lion's town - Lviv. This heroic town always has to inspire boys for creative work, courage and boldness, remind them about their mission.
