NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF UKRAINE

COMES TO ST GEORGES HALL

NATIONAL SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA OF UKRAINE

St George’s Hall, Bradford is joining forces with 17 other major concert venues around the UK to
support Ukraine’s premier symphony orchestra next year.

The National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine (NSOU) is recognised as one of the finest symphony
orchestras in Eastern Europe. It has announced it will return to the UK for the first time in over 20
years next autumn, with a rich programme featuring Ukrainian composer Lyatoshynsky’s Grazhyna
Symphonic Picture, Sibelius’ Finlandia, and Strauss’ Don Juan.

The orchestra will be conducted by their music director Volodymyr Sirenko and the soloists on the
tour will be two of the most distinguished young Ukrainian musicians performing on the international
stage today – the violinist Oleksii Semenenko and the pianist Antonii Baryshevskyi. The NSOU will be performing at St
George’s Hall, Bradford on Thursday 26 October 2023.

Alexander Hornostai, NSOU managing director and producer, says: “The National
Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine has been an important part of the country’s culture for over
100 years, and we have been performing and rehearsing in Kiev since we were first
established in 1918.
Whilst this war has had a dramatic impact on Ukrainian lives, we took the decision early on
that we had an important role to play in continuing to perform, in order to protect and
showcase Ukrainian musical culture and show that there is more to our country than just the
conflict.
