On the tour through Germany, the Ukrainian Youth Symphony Orchestra under star conductor Oksana Lyniv shows that they want to defy the war with music.
She made festival history as the first woman to conduct the festival in Bayreuth in 2021: The Ukrainian Oksana Lyniv works with the most famous orchestras in the world, was chief conductor of the Graz Opera and is now also the general music director in Bologna. Since 2017, her heart’s project has been the founding of her Youth Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine. She is now on tour with him in Germany. The young people were scattered all over Europe because of the war, and some of the young men had great difficulty getting special permission to tour.

Their sad stories and hopes for an early end to the war also travel with the young people. With a big concert in Mainz Cathedral, the orchestra wants to show how many young talents in Ukraine are dedicated to music and that it is worth fighting for Ukrainian musical culture.
