  • ... that the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra brought music by three Ukrainian composers to concert halls in Poland and Germany in April 2022, including the Berlin Philharmonie and the Kurhaus Wiesbaden (pictured)? Source: several

    • Comment: the tour isn't over, but done for the places mentioned, and probably over when this may appear - booklet called "The Voice of Ukraine" - if you look closely, the double bassists had a little flag attached to their instruments ;) - The national anthem was played in the end, with fervour to a standing audience, standing again after the last symphony had caused standing ovations already. The violinist played a piece he heard in Russia for an encore. He'll have his own DYK, promised.

  • Long enough, copyvio OK, new enough when nominated. Hook checks out but could be hookier. I will approve it with the hook proposed but I suggest a couple of different hooks, which Gerda is free to choose or to reject. HouseOfChange (talk) 00:44, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
  • ALT1 ... that the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra (pictured) toured European concert halls with music by Ukrainian composers including Borys Lyatoshynsky's Symphony No. 3, Op. 50 (1951) whose theme is "Peace will conquer war"?
  • ALT2 ... ... that in April 2022 male players of the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra (pictured) needed permission from the Ukraine's Ministry of Defense to tour concert halls in Europe?
Thank you for the review. I'm striking ALT1 because I will use it for the conductor. ALT2 is a good idea, but has no connection to the image which I believe shows well the size of the orchestra and the kind of hall. The review said that just the music was good for standing ovations, without political context (which included a speech by the vice president of the European Parliament). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:06, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
