A message from the conductor, Ivan Ostapovych:

‘We are a community of young and active Ukrainian musicians – Collegium Musicum. We promote culture, classical music and poetry in our country. We recorded this performance of Handel`s concerto grosso in the ruins of an abandoned industrial building.’

It’s haunting stuff.
