Biography.
Born on February 11, 1938 in the village of Dovbysh, Zhytomyr region.
After an unsuccessful attempt to enter the Kyiv Glier Music School, he enrolled in the All-Union training courses for amateur artistic directors, which opened at the Novohrad-Volyn House of Culture. After graduating, he decides to try his luck in Moscow, where correspondence music courses were opened at the All-Union House of Folk Art. He had to study simultaneously with his military service - fate led him to the Northern Sea Fleet. After completing his military service, Pashkevych was left as an accordionist in a sailor's band, but he returned to his native Baranivka, organized a vocal ensemble and an amateur choir, and won numerous competitions and contests. At one of the competitions in Kyiv, Hryhorii Veryovka himself praised the creative abilities and talent of the young ensemble director. A few years later, the ensemble was awarded the title of People's.
In 1963-1978, he headed the Cherkasy Folk Choir, in 1978-1989 - the Volyn Folk Choir, and in 1989-2005 - the Chernihiv Folk Choir.
