Ivan Karabyts

Ivan Fedorovych Karabyts (; 17 January 1945 – 20 January 2002) was a Ukrainian composer and conductor, and a People’s Artist of Ukraine. O. Beregova considered that Karabyts’ work showed the breadth and universality of creative thinking and an innovative approach to traditional musical genres and forms.

Most of the early works were chamber works, In the 1970s and 1980s, Karabyts was attracted to large-scale musical productions.
