In Memoriam is a part of a large-scale cultural and diplomatic initiative aimed at uniting society, spreading the ideas of peace and tolerance through dialogue of cultures. The concert program includes two All Ukrainian premieres: the works of Ernest Bloch's Suite Modale for flute and Orchestra and In Memoriam.
This musical project will bring together a unique group of musicians on one stage: the first flute of France Philippe Pierlot, a worldwide renowned pianist Maria Prinz (Bulgaria, Austria), a famous violist and conductor in this program Alexander Zemtsov (Germany, Switzerland) and the INSO-Lviv Academic Symphony Orchestra.
The aim of the international musical project In Memoriam – United by Music is commemoration of the Jews who died during the Second World War; conducting educational and formative activities on highlighting multiculturalism and multi-ethnicity of the city of Lviv. Project founders are trying with the help of musical dialogue to attract public's attention, both Ukrainian and international, to spreading the ideas of peace and tolerance, better understanding between different ethnic groups and different age groups of Lviv community, and getting familiar with the classical symphonic works of the European composers of the Jewish origin.
In 2016 Ukraine marks the 75th anniversary of the Babi Yar tragedy, commemorating the innocent victims. Babi Yar in Kyiv, Drobytsky Yar in Kharkiv region, Prison in Lontsky Street, the Valley of Death of Yanovsky concentration camp in Lviv region – these are just few scenes of bloody terror against humanity. Not to forget these bloody pages of our own history and to overcome ethnic conflicts and especially all manifestations of genocide is an object of our time.
The friendly and multicultural Lviv invites the residents and guests of the cultural capital to join the unique project of tolerance of peoples and cultures.
August 27, Lviv Philharmonic. The concert starts at 6 p. m.
