Chamber Orchestra of the North will play a memorial concert in De Oosterpoort on Saturday, May 4. Beautiful melodious music reflects on the terrible horrors of war, on the innocent victims of all wars.

The program includes works by three generations of Ukrainian composers who live daily with the current events of the current war: Valentin Silvestrov (1937), Sviatoslav Lunyov (1964) and Maxim Shalygin (1985). Drop after drop is performed continuously and immerses the listener in an increasingly deeper meditation.

Maxim Shalygin was previously a guest with the Chamber Orchestra of the North and wrote about it: ‘From the first minute I worked with the orchestra, I felt how deeply these young musicians experience the music. They put together each program with great love and create the ideal conditions for the music to penetrate the heart.’
