About this person
Stefania Ivanivna Turkewich-Lukianovych was born on 25 April 1898 and worked as a composer, pianist, and musicologist.

The Soviet authorities banned her works, keeping them from performance and publication within the USSR. She continued through the prohibition, writing music the state would not allow its citizens to hear. Stefania Turkewich died on 8 April 1977.
