Olena has performed since the outbreak of full-scale war in prominent performances sponsored by distinguished institutions all around Ukraine, Poland, Austria, France, Switzerland and Czech Republic for international festivals and in collaboration with major artists, orchestras and opera productions. Ms. Zhukova is also an accomplished scholar who has published and presented more than 20 articles, while devoting herself to her harpsichord class and chamber music students as Associate Professor at both the /National Music Academy of Ukraine/ and the /Gliére Academy of Music/ (Kiev), where she founded the harpsichord class. Engagements during the past few months alone include Bach's Goldberg Variations in the prestigious /Organ Hall/ in Lviv, Ukraine; the first major classical performance for the public in Chernihiv, Ukraine since the outbreak of war entitled /French Music in Times of War/ and sponsored by the Ambassador of France, in a newly rebuilt performance hall in Chernihiv that had been extensively damaged by a Russian strike at the beginning of the conflict; and an involved program of exclusively new music for solo harpsichord in part composed for her by today's Ukrainian composers, for Columbia University’s /Global Center in Paris/ and its /Institute for Ideas and Imagination/.
