Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to consider the genesis of the classical crossover and traces its path of development in the Ukrainian cultural and artistic space. The methodology involves a combination of historical and cultural, analytical, and comparative methods, which clarified the place of the classical crossover in modern music culture. The scientific novelty of the study is that for the first time in Ukrainian science, Ukrainian representatives of the classical crossover are considered. Conclusions. At the turn of the 20th – 21st centuries one of the areas that synthesize the achievements of academic and variety (rock, pop, electronic music) art has become a classic crossover. The origins of this trend are more ancient and go back to the 1960s when the first attempts were made to synthesize academic and variety performance. Famous Ukrainian singers of the academic school D. Hnatiuk, Yu. Gulyaev, A. Mokrenko, D. Petrinenko, L. Ostapenko performed both classical and variety works. Today, a striking example of the synthesis of academic and variety vocal art is the duets of F. Mustafayev – T. Samaya and V. Stepova – V. Sinchuk. Ukrainian singer, soprano of the new generation Arina Domski is the only representative of the Ukrainian scene, which consistently turns to the direction of the classical crossover, synthesizing in its performance variety and academic vocal repertoire.
