Conclusions: Musical culture of Kyiv in the 17–18 centuries was not limited to the religious environment. For the needs of the urban population in the 17th century, a musical brotherhood was formed that fully met all its needs, from playing at christenings, weddings, birthdays, holidays and in pubs, to playing on the tower of the city magistrate and during the reception of the most respected guests of the city.
