Beethoven Piano Concerto No.5, ‘Emperor’
Delius Two Pieces for Small Orchestra
Beethoven Symphony No.7
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine makes a welcome return to the ICS for 2026.
Musical ambassadors for their homeland, the NSOU tonight pay homage to our nations’ bond with works from both Ukraine and England. Maxim Berezovsky’s Symphony in C, the first Ukrainian symphony, is a landmark in the country’s musical history. And music doesn’t get more English than Delius’s sumptuous ‘On Hearing the First Cuckoo in Spring’.
That’s not all: there’s drama, too, courtesy of Beethoven. Maria Pukhlianko stars in the ‘Emperor’ concerto, before the same composer’s glorious Seventh Symphony. Slava Ukraini!
