Abstract

The purpose of the section is to clarify the phenomenon of cultural and artistic activity of the Ukrainian Western diaspora representatives of the XXth century, among which a worthy place is occupied by the figure of Vasyl Prokopovych Zavitnevych (1899–1983).

The research methodology consists in applying the culturological approach when considering the multi-vector cultural and artistic activity of artists of the North American continent, its combination with the moral-ethical and aesthetic approach to determine the spiritual dimensions of individual representatives.

On the multi-vectority of cultural and artistic universalism of the Ukrainian Western diaspora artists – A. Hornyatkevych, R. Hurko, V. Yemets, H. Kytasty, O. Koshyts, P. Matsenko, V. Mishalow, A. Rudnytsky, R. Savytsky and I. Sonevytsky – evidenced by the directions presented by them: music-performing, compositional, musicological, educational-pedagogical, as well as active cultural and public life, which not only enriched Ukrainian culture, but also allowed it to take a worthy place in the world socio-cultural environment.
Vasyl Zavitnevych affirms an honorable place among the popularizers of Ukrainian musical culture of the XXth century in the West. The artist’s cultural and artistic activity was to popularize Ukrainian culture in general and Ukrainian choral work in particular, which prompted him to engage in conducting, regent, educational, pedagogical, publishing, church and public practices. The passion of V. Zavitnevych’s talent emphasizes the phenomenon of the Ukrainian diaspora in the ethnogenesis of the Ukrainian people.
