A large charity event – a symphonic poem “UNBREAKABLE” by Ihor Zakus will be hosted by the Lviv Philharmonic on April 19.
The quintet of the famous Ukrainian musician Ihor Zakus and the Academic Symphony Orchestra of the Myroslav Skoryk of Lviv National Philharmonic under the guidance of conductor Volodymyr Syvokhip will walk out on the stage.

The online concert UNBREAKABLE will be broadcasted around the world to raise funds for the Armed Forces. There is also a unique opportunity to buy a ticket and get to the event live. For the reason that the Philharmonic is a large humanitarian hub now, and all the premises, including the ground floor are occupied by medicines for our military, only 120 tickets will be available on sale.

The UNBREAKABLE programme includes works by Ihor Zakus, orchestrated for symphony orchestra and jazz quintet by the best Ukrainian orchestrators, as well as poems by Ukrainian poets which were written in the first month of the war between Ukraine and russia.

Ihor Zakus: “UNBREAKABLE is about Ukrainians. Music is dedicated to them. The poems, which were written in the last month, glorify the Ukrainian people, their spirit and resilience. The compositions describe peaceful Ukrainian who becomes a battler, his parents, children, a Ukrainian woman, a Ukrainian soldier …
This is a great musical canvas, flooded with poetry of Ukrainian poets about the heroic struggle of the Ukrainian people for their freedom in the war of aggression of russia against Ukraine, musical and poetic depiction of the path of Ukrainians to victory.”

  • Dennis Adu – trumpet
  • Taras Kushniruk – guitar
