The 26th concert out of forty planned as part of the big tour took place at the main university of Connecticut, where Solomiya Ivakhiv is a professor of violin and viola. On stage, the artists performed the Violin Concerto by Max Bruch.

30 years ago, in 1993 when I was 12 years old, I performed for the first time with the Lviv Symphony Orchestra. Today, there are still two or three musicians here who played in the orchestra when I soloed with them. I am also very happy to see my former classmates and to welcome the musicians of Lviv to my “home” – in the main university of the state of Connecticut,” said Solomiya Ivakhiv.

The orchestra once again performed under the baton of the principal conductor Theodore Kuchar in a hall full of listeners. And the violinist noted that “70% of the people who came to the concert are Americans. I am very pleased that the orchestra shows up at such a high level, and I am proud of our Lviv Philharmonic.”
