Come and witness history being made by the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra, arguably one of the most thought-provoking music collaborations of today! Last year, the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra made a deep impression on Amsterdam audiences, and this summer, the heroic orchestra returns with Beethoven's groundbreaking Symphony no. 3, "Eroica".

European tour of the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra

Following its acclaimed 2022 inaugural tour of Europe and the United States, the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra, conducted by its Canadian-Ukrainian music director, Keri-Lynn Wilson, will regroup this August for a tour of major European festivals and cities in a continuing demonstration of Ukrainian artistry as the nation fights for its freedom.

The 74-piece orchestra unites Ukrainian musicians from across the country, (some of the male members having received special permission from the Ukrainian government to serve their nation through their music), as well as Ukrainian refugee musicians and Ukrainian members of European orchestras. 

The Spectator in London says that "Keri-Lynn Wilson conducts unfussily but brilliantly, her interpretation thrillingly urgent." Meanwhile, according to The Washington Post: “Wilson sharpened every edge and kept pace with every madcap turn, every catastrophic collision. The off-kilter tilt of the stage found a match in the conductor’s angular management of the orchestra. It was a three-hour thrill ride.”
