Three years ago, the Virtuosos Festival opened its doors to listeners in the first spring of a full-scale invasion. Back then, the concert hall looked more like a volunteer headquarters, where rows of patrons’ chairs gave way to boxes of essential humanitarian and medical aid. Soon, the stage was enveloped by music, which from the first concerts became a necessary lifeline for pent-up emotions and excess of feelings of both listeners and musicians. And every evening at the Philharmonic was an opportunity to once again thank the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Defense Forces.

The musicians of the Lviv Virtuosos Academic Chamber Orchestra invite you to join them at a concert not only with words but also with a donation. The chosen program continues the orchestra’s tradition of creating a selection of instrumental music hits that can be heard in one evening. This time, the audience will be thanked for their generosity with expressive works by Bach and Mozart, Grieg and Respighi, as well as a new arrangement of Paganini’s famous Caprice for chamber orchestra by Lviv-based composer Viktor Kaminskyi.
