Beginning
In January 1919, Petlura held a meeting with Oleksander Koshetz and Kyrylo Stetsenko and presented the idea. Soon after this meeting, Oleksa Prykhodko also joined the Capella as assistant director.
The situation of the Capella was difficult in that the political situation in Kiev was unstable. Although Koshetz and Stetsenko began work almost immediately, on January 26, 1919, Koshetz was forced to leave Kiev before it was overrun by the bolsheviks.
The Capella eventually reunited in Kamyanets-Podilsky, where the final preparations were made.
