United with Ukraine

Welcome to United with Ukraine, our first concert in two and a half years, and the finale to our 38th season. While it is a pleasure to gather again to play beautiful music for you, we also reflect on the fact that so many people in the world cannot enjoy an evening such as this. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine. To honour their courage and determination, we dedicate this concert to them.
