At the Teatr Wielki – National Opera in Warsaw, a special event took place – the performance of the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra. In a gesture of solidarity with the victims of the war in Ukraine, the Metropolitan Opera in New York and the Teatr Wielki – National Opera in Warsaw decided to form the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra. It consists of leading Ukrainian instrumentalists, including refugees who had to leave their country, as well as musicians from various parts of Ukraine.

The orchestra, under the baton of the Canadian conductor of Ukrainian origin, Keri-Lynn Wilson, presented the VII Symphony of the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, the II Piano Concerto by Frédéric Chopin, and the IV Symphony by Johannes Brahms.

Our Hostesses in Action

During this unique event, our hostesses had the honor of representing the Orlen company. They joyfully gifted the audience with delicious chocolates, adding a sweet touch to this unforgettable evening.

Solidarity Through Music

The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra is not just about music, but above all, solidarity. Funds raised during the concert tour will be donated to the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine to assist artists. Music, as a universal language, connects people and helps to cross boundaries, both geographical and those in people’s hearts.
