The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra’s fourth summer tour will see it visit old friends and new. Debut concerts in countries that have shown such staunch support for Ukraine and its people in their moment of need, in the Baltic states of Lithuania and Latvia and at the George Enescu Festival in Romania, will be staged alongside return visits to Lucerne, Amsterdam, Warsaw, and London. With a program featuring Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony as a symbol of resilience and hope, the tour brings together supporters from many nations at a decisive time in Ukraine’s continuing defense of its sovereignty and cultural identity.

Maxim Kolomiiets (*1981)  – Suite from The Mothers of Kherson

Richard Strauss (1864–1949) – Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde (with Rachel Willis-Sørensen)
