IMG Artists, in partnership with the leading concert venues in the UK, is thrilled to announce a major tour featuring the National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine coming to The Bridgewater Hall.
The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine returns to the UK for the first time in more than 20 years – and pays its first ever visit to Manchester. Join them and us to share in a powerful moment of cultural solidarity following the devastating Russian invasion of Ukraine. The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine has been a central part of Ukrainian musical life since its foundation in 1918, and the musicians’ role as ambassadors for the culture of their homeland has never been more important.
We’re honoured to welcome the orchestra and Artistic Director Volodymyr Sirenko for a programme centred on one of the most beloved concertos in the repertoire: Max Bruch’s Violin Concerto No.1, featuring recent BBC New Generation Artist Aleksey Semenenko.
The concert opens with a dramatic symphonic poem by Boris Lyatoshynsky, the founding father of Ukrainian contemporary music – and ends with the soaring First Symphony from Jean Sibelius.
