The purpose of the article is to highlight the concert and educational activities of the Ternopil Regional Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra over the last decade, and to present the orchestra's repertoire achievements in popularising Ukrainian musical art. The research methodology consists in the use of a number of approaches. The analytical approach is used to present the main stages and directions of creative activity of the academic symphony orchestra from its foundation in 2003 (the official date of creation is 01.20.2004 to today). The systemic method with the use of the methods of theoretical generalisation and introspection enables a comprehensive presentation of the repertoire policy of the Ternopil Regional Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra over the last decade. Scientific novelty consists in outlining the "repertoire policy" concept as a flexible combination of different styles and genres in the repertoire addressed to a specific performing team, which is completed according to the types of programs (thematic, monographic, collective), to the genres of the performing repertoire (orchestral, orchestral with soloists, instrumentalists, vocalists or so-called «small forms»), to the tasks of contest or festival requirements, touring performances. We have used the examples of programs from orchestral works, with soloists-instrumentalists, soloists-vocalists, vocal trio and quartet to illustrate our study. Conclusions. On the basis of the conducted analysis, the main directions, forms, and repertoire content of creative projects with foreign performers-instrumentalists and collectives, with a number of vocalists - soloists of European and Ukrainian opera have been systemised. The ways of updating the performing repertoire with works by foreign and domestic classics, examples of the work by modern composers, the importance of the "Ukrainian component" and its popularisation as a response to the socio-cultural challenges of today have been illustrated, using the example of the repertoire of the orchestra's tour (29 concerts) at the «Gala Strauss» festival (Poland). Thus, we can state that the orchestra plays a significant cultural and educational role in the cultural and artistic life of the region, which is supported by planning and implementation of creative projects and further efforts on finding and updating the artistic repertoire.

Understanding Mykola Lysenko's business, his impracticality in financial affairs, at the same time his great love for his native people and cheering for their future, he agreed to become a voluntary assistant of the artist. The relationship of Mykola Lysenko - an outstanding Ukrainian composer and conductor, with Yakiv Hulak-Artemovskyi - an amateur singer and choir manager must be a model of deep respect, tolerance, and an example of devoted service to the cause of Ukrainian choral art. The creative tandem of these caring personalities contributed to coordinated and successful work of the choir, preparation of concert programmes, organisation of tour trips, and the popularisation of the native song among the Ukrainian population. Mykola Lysenko and Yakiv Hulak-Artemovskyi were Ukrainian patriots, highly spiritual personalities, and hardworking people who defended the right of the people to be treated with dignity within or under the conditions of the colonialist policy of the Russian Empire: Mykola Lysenko as a defining cultural figure, whereas Yakiv Hulak-Artemovskyi was an average, but dedicated representative of Ukrainian citizenship. Both faithfully served their native people and the Ukrainian culture. Yakiv Hulak-Artemovskyi respected Mykola Lysenko as a talented artist, admired him as a personality, as well as, his ability to maintain independent views, even in the most difficult times. In turn, Mykola Lysenko valued Yakiv Hulak-Artemovskyi as a singer and head of the choir, and as a reliable assistant and adviser. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
