Defending Ukraine artistically is the objective of an orchestra unique in the world. Its name: Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra. Its duration: one month. Founded by a Canadian-Ukrainian conductor, the ephemeral formation stops at the Roman Theater of Orange, in the south of France, where it plays as part of the Chorégies festival.
Composed exclusively of Ukrainian musicians who are refugees or from European ensembles, this orchestra has just started a tour across Europe to the United States to express its support for the victims of the war and to raise funds for Ukrainian artists. .
The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra is giving a solidarity concert this Tuesday evening August 2 at the Théâtre antique des Chorégies in Orange before hitting the road via Berlin, Edinburgh, Amsterdam and New York to end its tour in Washington on August 20.
