Bells of Victory
A unique concert that intertwines the rich Ukrainian musical tradition with the legendary narratives of Persian mythology. The programme includes symphonic music from the 20th century and newly written works by composer and conductor Afshin Khaef.
This production is part of one or more concert series.
Kyiv Symphony Orchestra, which has gone into exile in Germany due to the invasion of Ukraine, visits Berwaldhallen together with conductor Afshin Khaef – a musical manifestation of solidarity with the Ukrainian people. Ukrainian composer Boris Lyatoshinsky’s Symphony No. 3, ”Peace Will Defeat War”, is considered to embody the Ukrainian spirit and the hopes and dreams of a nation yearning for peace. Also on the programme, the symphonic choral piece Legend of Kayumars, for two soloists, choir and orchestra. This work is based on ancient Persian mythology and tells the story of Kayumars, the first king who brought peace and enlightenment to humanity by defeating Ahriman, the god of darkness. This story echoes the overarching theme of the concert: the unwavering belief that light and peace will ultimately prevail.
