About

The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine has long been one of the most distinguished European orchestras and has achieved world-wide recognition through its many international tours, which include Australia, the US, Europe and Asia.

Their visit to the UK in Autumn 2023 is a particularly important cultural event, following the tragic invasion of Ukraine by Russia and ongoing war.

The orchestra will be conducted by their music director Volodymyr Sirenko and the soloists on the tour will be two of the most distinguished young Ukrainian musicians performing on the international stage today - the violinist Oleksii Semenenko and the pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi. 

With a rich programme featuring Ukrainian composer Lyatoshynsky’s Grazhyna Symphonic Picture, Sibelius’ Finlandia, and Strauss’ Don Juan.
