Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony at Lviv National Opera

On December 16th as a sign of solidarity and support Keri-Lynn Wilson, Canadian Ukrainian music director and conductor, will lead Lviv National Opera Orchestra and Chorus at the special event dedicated to Ukrainian struggle for independence and peace. The concert “In Dedication of Invincible Ukraine” will feature Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with a new performance edition sung in Ukrainian. Changing the German word for “Joy/Freude” to the Ukrainian word for “Glory/Slava,” Ukraine’s rallying cry for victory, the concert will be the symbol of moral support for a nation at war. The concert program will commence with a Ukrainian premiere by Viktoriya Polyova “Nova – dedication to the courage of Ukraine” written in 2022.
