Ukrainian music culture remains a mystery to many European listeners. The global community’s attention turned to the independent state with a centuries-old history when the flames of war erupted on February 24, 2022. The aggressors did not limit themselves to the destruction of cities, towns, factories, and power plants, poisoning of rivers, and mining of fields. They aimed to destroy the awareness of Ukrainian history, literature, and music and mock the Ukrainian language. Defenders of the state are defending Ukraine on the frontlines, and artists are not standing aside. They are participating in the collective struggle for peace, life, and culture. After all, the voice of every nation enriches the European chorus. The “Sounds of Ukraine” festival offers an opportunity to experience Ukrainian musical traditions, see the modern musical portrait of a peace-loving nation, and express support for Ukraine.

“Sounds of Ukraine” is the first festival of Ukrainian classical music in Germany, and the unique one in unveiling its various branches. You will hear the beauty of Ukrainian romance and enjoy a journey through violin repertoire from the 19th century to the present day. You will get acquainted with the most famous Ukrainian composers such as Lysenko, Kosenko, Barvinskyi, Skoryk, and Silvestrov, and discover the traditions of Christmas in Ukraine. We invite you to immerse in the captivating world of Ukrainian music and feel the beauty and depth of this cultural heritage.
