The Boston Youth Philharmonic Orchestra recently showed its solidarity with Ukraine by playing a tribute to that beleaguered country.
In response to the Russian invasion, the orchestra recently played the anthem at the start of Sunday’s concert.
Ukraine’s anthem is known as “Shche ne Vmerla Ukrainy i slava, i volia,” which translates to “Glory and Freedom of Ukraine has not yet Perished.” The lyrics are derived from a patriotic poem by Pavlo Chubynsky.
The orchestra also closed with Shostakovich’s 5th Symphony, which they say has served as a symbol of power and protest.
