Dmitry Bortniansky: Overture to Il Quinto Fabio
‍Franz Liszt: Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major, S. 124
Valentyn Silvestrov: Silent Music
‍Antonín Dvořák: Symphony No. 5 in F major, op. 76

This opening night carries both artistic distinction and profound meaning. Ukraine’s leading orchestra brings music shaped by resilience and lyricism, pairing Romantic fire with introspective modern voices. Liszt’s virtuosic Piano Concerto No. 1 blazes with brilliance, while Valentyn Silvestrov’s Silent Music offers a moment of hushed, almost sacred reflection. Anchored by Dvořák’s radiant Fifth Symphony, this concert is a powerful reminder of music’s ability to affirm life—even in the most difficult times.
