The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony

The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra present Beethoven's Ninth Symphony - opening concert of 2023 tour.
Following its acclaimed inaugural tour of Europe and the United States in 2022, the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra begins its 2023 tour at Warsaw's Polish National Opera with a concert which culminated in a performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony - and a special translation into Ukrainian of Schiller's famous 'Ode to Joy.'
The orchestra includes refugees forced to flee their country for safety, Ukrainian members of European orchestras, and musicians of Ukraine-based ensembles, some of whom have received special permission from the Ukrainian government to serve their nation through their music.
The concert opens with the Overture to Verdi鈥檚 La Forza del Destino, an opera haunted by merciless fate. The orchestra is then joined by the Kharkiv-born violinist Valeriy Sokolov, winner of the Study Grant Prize at the International Pablo Sarasate Competition in Pamplona and the Grand Prix of the George Enescu Festival in Bucharest for the Second Violin Concerto by Yevhen Stankovych, one of Ukraine's leading composers. The orchestra is conducted by Canadian-Ukrainian, Keri-Lynn Wilson.
Presented by Hannah French.
