Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra

A dramatic and terrifying requiem juxtaposed by a beautiful gloria dedicated to all the heroes of Ukraine, performed in the iconic St Paul's Cathedral, a symbol of shining resilience.

The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra and Askonas Holt are proud to present this special concert of Verdi’s Requiem in the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral, one of the greatest works of memorial art. The orchestra will be joined by the Philharmonia Chorus and a quartet of exceptional soloists: soprano Ailyn Pérez, mezzo soprano Natalie Lewis, tenor René Barbera, and bass Soloman Howard.

Alongside this performance of Verdi’s Requiem, the concert will feature the UK premiere of Gloria, a new piece written by acclaimed Ukrainian composer Bohdana Frolyak, .

The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra was formed in 2022 by Canadian Ukrainian conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson in direct response to Russia’s full-scale invasion and bears witness to an invincible country and to a culture that will never be silenced.
