Molnar first played the academic bandura under the mentorship of Yurii Danyliv and later mastered the traditional old-style bandura and lira. Since 1989, he has been a performer in the amateur bandura choir “Karpaty” in the Lviv department of the Ukrainian Society for the Blind. Molnar also served as director of the charitable fund “Muza” and as deputy head of the Lviv Kobzar Guild, overseeing work with blind children.
His repertoire includes Ukrainian folk songs and works by Ukrainian composers. Molnar’s notable contributions include the reconstruction of ancient lirnyk songs, such as “The Passion of Christ,” in which he achieves a profound level of ethnological authenticity.
