Yesterday noon, my bus and I could not make it to the National Gallery of Art in time for this short retrospective by Thomas Hrynkiw of largely 20th century Ukrainian classical piano music due to inequality protest marches weaving in and out of central downtown Washington, D.C. I hope the program will be broadcast at a later date.

Here was the program and program notes:
