Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine together with the chief conductor Theodore Kuchar,  flute Mykhailo Sosnovskyi,  and the violinist Vladyslava Luchenko invite you to a concert, the compositions from the program which will be played on a big tour of the United States of America next month!

It will take place as part of the large-scale artistic project “See & hear Ukraine”, which was presented in August by the Lviv National Philharmonic in cooperation with the Kozytskyi Charitable Foundation within the project “We & World”. Thanks to the “See and Hear Ukraine” project, as part of a tour in the USA, the public will be presented with the best examples of musical art and Ukrainian fine art by famous Ukrainian artists.

Instead, the Lviv National Philharmonic Orchestra of Ukraine, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary this season, will present the compositions that will be included in the program of dozens of performances in different states of America to the native Lviv audience.

The concert will begin the organic combination of Ukrainian folklore with the academic tradition in Chamber Symphony No. 3 for flute and strings by Yevhen Stankovich, which received world recognition as one of the best symphonies of 1985 according to UNESCO.

The program will continue with the pearl of violin music – the only Violin concert with Orchestra by Johannes Brahms. The composer successfully combined the classical perfection of forms with the romantic inspiration of images of nature.

Antonin Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, subtitled “From the New World”, will be the grand finale. Creating this piece at the end of the 19th century, the Czech composer recorded in the score his impressions of the American continent, its music, and folklore. At that time, America was a new, unexplored world for Europeans, which aroused considerable interest and admiration. Now Ukraine and its people, who courageously oppose Russia, protecting and defending the most important thing – Independence, have become that New World for everyone.
