One of the interesting sculptures worth attention is in Cherkasy, but not in a square or on a plaza, rather at a height of 7 m. This unusual monument-sculpture, High Note, was unveiled in 2018 to mark Music Day.

To keep the violinist figure from falling in a strong gust of wind, its center of gravity was placed in the legs. So even when it is strongly swayed, it will still remain in a vertical position. The name and idea of the monument are an invitation for people to take their own “high note” in life, which will allow them to achieve the maximum in what they do.

Interesting facts:

• The cable on which the sculpture is mounted stretches from the philharmonic hall to a support pole.
• The sculpture is 150 cm high, and its weight is 150 kg.
• The author created the violinist’s image based on the appearance of several female models.
• The sculpture was made in Kyiv region, in Vyshneve, and then transported to Cherkasy.
