Virtuosos 43. UKRAINIAN NOSTALGIA

The evening’s warm atmosphere, woven from orchestral works that somehow belong to the late romantic tradition, is dedicated to a sense of nostalgia. The songfulness of Mieczyslaw Karłowicz’s Serenade and Felix Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto in D minor, a work of the young genius, will be performed by the famous soloist Myroslava Kotorovych under the baton of Viktoriia Zhadko.

The evening will continue with “Mass for Ukraine” by Alla Sirenko, a contemporary Ukrainian artist who went down in history as the first Ukrainian composer to premiere a fantasy opera at the Royal Opera House in London, and “Batyarski Pisni” by Yuriy Shevchenko. You won’t have to borrow music lovers’ admiration for them, because such a unique program happens “only in Lviv” and only with the participation of the most virtuoso musicians.
