On 27 November 2018, the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra performed a programme permeated with motifs associated with the Polish and Ukrainian tradition. Borys Lyatoshynsky’s Poem based on Mickiewicz’s Grażyna and the Carpathian Concerto by Myroslav Skoryk, tinged with folk overtones, were complemented by dances of Karol Szymanowski, born in Tymoshivka, near Kyiv.
In turn, the newest face of Polish music showed its energy in the Double Cello Concerto by Hanna Kulenty, in a joint interpretation of Polish cellists and the Ukrainian orchestra.
