The conductor Andrey Boreyko has posted a picture of the evacuation yesterday from Ukraine of the senior composer Valentin Silvestrov.

The people who got him out are journalists from Deutsche Welle, in coordination with the pianist Alexei Lubimov.

Silvestrov, 84, is seen in a car entering Poland. We understand he is moving on to another European country.

How terrible that an artist of such achievement and great age should be subjected to such stress.
