Philly adds Ukraine minute’s silence to its concerts
NewsThe Philadelphia Orchestra has added Ukrainian composer Myroslav Skoryk’s Melody from the film The High Pass to its forthcoming Chopin and Shostakovich concerts, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
Audiences will be asked to observe a moment’s silence after the Melody.
As well as this solidarity measure, before the concert Ukrainian musicians will perform music from their homeland in Commonwealth Plaza at the Kimmel Center.
Wonderful and sincere additions to this program.
Before a program with Soviet-era Russian music? I’m sorry, that is a lame and pointless virtual signal rather than what should be a cultural boycott of a barbarous, savage nation.
