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.

Pianists, educators, and co-directors of the concert series, Oxana Mikhailoff and Vassily Primakov have known each other for nearly 30 years. Sharing warm memories about their alma-mater Moscow State Conservatory and their teacher Vera Gornostaeva, they started professional collaboration in New York upon their arrival here in the 1990s. The musicians continue enriching their careers by playing for the audiences in Bronxville and Sparkill, NY and touring together around the country.

It is a particular treat for the music lovers to hear them play in four hands as each pianist brings certain individuality and unique musical texture which perfectly complements the style of the other. Indeed, the harmony rules!

The program will include music by Liszt, Saint-Saens, Mendelssohn, Czerny and will also feature the next generation of pianists who are Mikhailoff’s and Primakov’s students.

Indulge your cravings for piano music on Saturday, December 4th, 2021 as the concert will be a delicious treat for the music fans. Join the musicians in the charming setting of the Bronxville Women’s Club and share the joy of music!
