From the heart of Ukraine, music of joy, courage and reconciliation by Beethoven, Brahms, Sibelius and Stankovych.
There’s always a special atmosphere when a Ukrainian orchestra plays at Cadogan Hall – an indomitable spirit, grounded in a deep-rooted and fiercely-cherished musical tradition. And in Lviv – a city where Central European culture meets the Slavic world – that spirit burns brighter than ever.
This concert with the Orchestra’s American principal conductor Theodore Kuchar embraces both the home-grown genius of Yevhen Stankovych and the northern landscapes of Sibelius at his most powerful.
Beethoven’s joyous Second Symphony is a sunlit salute to unbridled creative freedom – and two of the Orchestra’s own star players take centre stage in the poignant, deeply felt concerto that Brahms wrote for two of his oldest friends. Clara Schumann called it the ‘concerto of reconciliation’.
