Since 1990, the Club de l'Horloge awards each year the "Lysenko Prize" to an author or person who "has contributed the most to scientific and historical misinformation, using ideological methods and arguments." Daniel Cohn-Bendit won the prize in 2002 "for his exceptional contribution to the euro campaign," the late John Kenneth Galbraith in 1994 for "his defense of the minimum wage and socialist fight against unemployment."
Lysenko wrote a number of operatic works, including Natalka Poltavka, Utoplena (The Drowned Woman, after Gogol's May Night) and Taras Bulba.
The Mykola Lysenko Music Competition was founded in 1962 by the Ukrainian composers Andriy Shtoharenko, Yevhen Stankovych, Myroslav Skoryk, Levko Kolodub, the singer Yelyzaveta Tchavdar, pianists Yevhen Rzhanov and the composer’s granddaughter Ariadna Lysenko.

The Mykola Lysenko Music Competition is a visiting-card of the Ukrainian music culture and is among the well-known leading competitions in Eastern Europe such as The Tchaikovsky Competition in Russia, Chopin Competition in Poland and several others.
Today, the Lysenko Collonaded Hall of the Philharmonic remains one of the two most prestigious classical music stages in the city (along with the Kiev Opera.)
From Mykola Lysenko's letters it can be seen that at one time negotiations were taking place for Shevchenko to teach bandura at Lysenko's music school in Kiev, however it does not seem that they came to an understanding.
