Music in NYC: Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra
FREE Live concert featuring Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra at Damrosch Park at Lincoln Center, NYC; presented in collaboration with the resident organizations of Lincoln Center.
August 18 & 19, 2022 at 7.30 pm
Donations are encouraged to organizations supporting the resettlement of Ukrainians
The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra will play at Lincoln Center in two free concerts, August 18 & 19. The powerful and symbolic international Freedom Tour includes recent refugees of the war, members of orchestras in other parts of Europe, and the leading musicians of Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, and Odesa.
In solidarity with the victims of the war in Ukraine, the Metropolitan Opera and the Polish National Opera brought these musicians together to create an orchestra for a European and American tour. The American performances will be held at Lincoln Center in a co-presentation of all eleven organizations on campus and, following, at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C.
The Ukrainian government is supporting the project by addressing the issues of allowing male musicians to put down weapons and take up their instruments in a remarkable demonstration of the power of art over adversity.
