An orchestral flashmob performance protesting against the invasion of Ukraine and its people by the Russian Government took place on Sunday 6 March, performing the Ukrainian National Anthem, Lysenko’s Prayer for Ukraine, and Silvestrov’s Hymme 2001. As Kyiv, Kharkiv, and numerous other Ukrainian cities are being brutally bombed, as hundreds of tanks are crossing the Ukrainian border to capture its capital, Ukrainian people showed an amazing spirit of resistance and true bravery.
Hundreds of musicians from all backgrounds gathered on Trafalgar Square to show their support for the Ukrainian people. Conductor of the performance Petr Limonov stated: “We feel it is our duty to do as much as we humanly can for this cause, and I urge everyone who can be there to come and join us in this fight for Peace. It is right now that the fate of Ukraine is being decided, and our hearts are with its citizens.”
