Alexander Koshetz (12 September 1875 – 21 September 1944) was a #Ukrainian choral #conductor, arranger, #composer, ethnographer, writer, musicologist, and lecturer. He helped popularize Ukrainian music around the world.
At one time, a performance of #Koshetz's Ukrainian National Chorus held the world record for audience attendance, excluding sporting events. His performance also popularized Mykola Leontovych's "Shchedryk" in his concert, which Peter Wilhousky later translated into the popular "Carol of the Bells".
