The theme of this year’s festival is related to the difficult times in which Ukraine is living and defending its independence. Since March 2022, our muses have not been silent: In times of war, musicians continue to light the way with their art, comforting souls and wounded hearts. The Festival focuses on young Ukrainian virtuosos, eminent foreign performers, music from the Baroque to contemporary tango, and, most importantly, Ukrainian music. Here’s a look at this week’s large-scale orchestral events at the Lviv Philharmonic:<\/strong><\/p>\n

25 May. Vivaldi, the Venetian Wizard<\/h4>\n

There were rumours about the virtuoso skills of the Italian Antonio Vivaldi, with which he shocked his contemporaries.

A fantastically inventive magician of sound and a bold innovator of the era – in this concert, the figure of the “Venetian wizard” was reimagined by the soloists and orchestras of the Lviv Virtuosi led by Dmytro Lohvyn. They played rarely performed works that did not leave modern music lovers indifferent – although even during the lifetime of the extremely popular Vivaldi, it was difficult to take fans of his work by surprise.<\/p>\n
