Biography.
In 1899, the Prykhodko family moved to Kamianets-Podilskyi. Here, Oleksa's father, Kindrat Viktorovych, worked as a city gardener. Oleksa graduated from the Podil Theological Seminary. He had a good ear for music and a beautiful voice, so the young man was accepted into the cathedral choir, where he got acquainted with the best examples of choral works by Ukrainian, Russian and foreign composers and mastered the technique of choral singing.
Oleksa went on to graduate from the university's Faculty of Philology and the Music Institute in Warsaw. After graduation, Prykhodko became a professor at a Ukrainian gymnasium in Warsaw, which was evacuated to Chernihiv in 1915.
He was a member of the Ukrainian Republican Chapel.
