Virko Baley

About the artist

Virko Baley (born October 21, 1938) is a renowned Ukrainian-American composer, conductor, and pianist. He was born in Radekhiv, Union of Soviet Socialist Republic (in what is now the country of Ukraine), the only child of Petro (Peter) and Lydia Baley. Before he had celebrated his first birthday, Hitler's army had invaded Poland and World War II had begun. The war defined Baley's early years, and gave him a very different view of life and the world than children born in the United States during those same years.
