MEMORY ETERNAL. VIRTUOSOS-2022

Love, harmony, and beauty have been and remain the core values of the “Virtuosos” for all four decades of its existence. However, this year, the musicians of Ukraine were especially challenged to defend the values ​​of art. The slogan of the whole Festival is “Ukrainian Muses Are Not Silent”. They speak up loud on their cultural front.

For the first time ever at the Opening of the Festival, a Mass for the dead will be performed. Volodymyr Syvokhip, director of the Myroslav Skoryk Lviv National Philharmonic, says: “The choice of Mozart’s Requiem was provoked by tragic circumstances, when civilians and our soldiers die every day. The current performance will be dedicated to all the sons and daughters of Ukraine who died for our future freedom.”

One of the most famous works of mankind goes through all stages of dramatic composition, reaching “eternal light”. We believe that despite the most tragic trials, the Ukrainian people will gain the desired freedom and independence like it is in this musical example.
