Today’s televised solidarity concert for Ukraine at Bellevue Palace will be conducted by Nodoka Okisawa, Kirill Petrenko assistant (pictured), as the chief conductor has fallen sick.

The concert will open and close with works by the refugee Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov, who will be present.

Evgeny Kissin will perform a polonaise by Chopin and, together with Berlin Philharmonic members, two movements from a piano trio by Dmitri Shostakovich. The Russian baritone Rodion Pogossov will sing the aria of Prince Yeletzki from Peter Tchaikovsky’s opera Queen of Spades.
