no time to kind of us a see, it's not the time for reflection, so necessity. it's time for action. oh, she writes a lot of thoughts about k i ds. hope people survive. she seems it's it's churches, winston churchill. when you go from the hell denotes la la la maggie gamma man. that's no, we are united. there are many of us. we will be victorious. how testers? chance all the members of the volney corps, a free choir, a beller. bruce are determined. their weapon is music, their battleground is the street. whether in bella roofs, or in bon, their art is a form of protest. oh, they took part in the popular uprising that swept bella roost 2020 before it was

brutally suppressed by dictator alexander lucas shinkel conductor vitaly. alec still knock also to pardon me, uprising in the ballroom capital minsk. oh, he uses art to fight repression. his message is one of defiance. oh oh, as this one's a miss on our mission is to show that that a roof still exists. and there are still a free belushi. even if i smoke line is on my mostly in exile on left is indeed a maple and many other people who are against the regime against abortion worn. ukraine want to express themselves and want to be hair tied to oil, some underlying dakota and that's why they're here at the beethoven fest. the free choirs constant was held in an unusual place. the plenary chamber and bon once the seat of the west, german parliament, an historic and

a political setting. ah, this year the beethoven fest, turn the spotlight on eastern europe on repression and bella roofs, as well as the war in ukraine. a nation who struggle for survival is being closely followed by the whole world. an event that's not only a celebration of music, but a clear statement of support with these countries opposition movements. the question is, how can art survive in times of war and repression? what role can music play in bella, luce or ukraine? was a condom, can use it, can't stop, war won't, aren't going to stop war, stopping our medical to art and music. you can change. people can ment, i think alec is medium with which we can reach very many people within the hour,

sir, for the mention and i from us now the hostile of ballasa nation not occurring after the rigged 2020 elections and ballers after the government crackdown, our musicians wanted to do something i was, was vicki kimball and they didn't want to be passively above years like lucas, a 3rd east as they stood next to the people. and thing is that it became a national movement in belarus like, isn't, it's an island at all yet. almost a mover coming at me. i think that music can change the world and that every person can change. and if someone does me harder, la la la circle of their desert, people and ukraine. good to be surrounded by music. ver, could he, in april last here we stage concerts in air, raid shelters to comfort little that from fightin, or rather than the laconically they keep throughout the la senza town. on the 2nd, only did they be sure, alexia sham britsky and his keith based sophia chamber choir arrived in germany for more torn ukraine. they, too,

are using music to fight for their country. oh, i the choir was founded in 2007, and quickly became an important part of cultural life and the ukrainian capital. but it sense of identity and purpose has changed since february. oh dr. the, my old sir. ah, listen yourselves as cultural advisors of ukraine, and i'm not sure you me see a national photo. i said the stickle to no diplomatic. okay. we want musicians from germany and bell roost to now and learn more about you training culture and to distinguish it from russian culture. lucille bid, shes not procreate cook or taller e or cache. yes, they put a while. it receives clear fun home. no,

natalia annex unit also feels a close bond with ukraine. before the war he organized the music festival and car keys in the countries northeast. he continues to do what he can in march, his taste, a concert in a subway station. while bombs rained down on the city, ah, okay, so can to move in you now. you training culture has to be audible and legible and visible into the missing o'clock. and we must give space to this ukrainian culture on which is althea, and, except course on, on fine pace o. in march 2022, the tale. alec still not met an old friend and bon, the composer olga put guide sky. the 2 had demonstrated together embellishments during the mass uprising in 2020, both considered themselves activists put guys k as one of the most important

composers and bella, ruth, she was asked by the beethoven 1st to compose a peace this year. each year, the festival commissions, a work in cooperation with which avella now the old friends are here to collaborate on a musical mission with . mm, jen pneumonia. she all the intention is on ukraine at the moment that our friends and valerie are non jail. and we're thinking about them, you and it's hard for them because they know what's happening in ukraine, which is also so tang ensure that the, the flu much has happened. the track down on the popular uprising and belarus, the russian invasion of ukraine. these artists don't want to remain silent. that's also what their project with the beethoven fast is about. plus,

said he and what's an end of the ocean lee? there was no time to really cry and i flatter, vaguely, arrogant. this is a line for action us one more stadium. yeah. forget it ceased you have to do something to fix. on assisted side, your top the plenary chamber and bon was once the seat of the buddhist tug up the center and symbol of post war german democracy. what better place for a concert with us? now? i will go with the state. thou kitchen ivy clinic if he or the team discusses the venue and agree the setting makes an interesting change from a concert hall that boomers visited with them. and the ones you ecos is, is vicki excess funds and it's very exciting to be in this room as he has often inch. hadn't you're aware of all the decisions that were made here? he of order olive, which everything was decided on

a language level and even at and cheating, we were probably the side, little vinny can shine a bit that will still be using language from the language of art and you get to make a statement. yeah. be helped him using the language of art to convey political messages in mid for a concert featuring choirs from 3 different countries. o . ready ready ready ready july 2022, warsaw. castle square. reminders of ukraine are everywhere. people are collecting donations for the wars victims. the border to ukraine. a war zone is only about a 100 kilometers east. metalli, alexander decided this is a suitable part of eastern europe to get all the musicians together for over herself. ah, so it's the, it's outside. warsaw has now become a symbol of neighborly relations service or so i was also the for city to be

completely overcrowded with people fling ukrainian gifted and mentioned. and of course, with the consensus totally new situation that all of us here and more so are getting reacquainted and finding on home is here in vice holmes. warsaw. it brings us altogether. aunt rush hour found and sada rance on level calendar will showcase, came already good booklet ukrainian has both an e and in san t as o u haul, not, not love. who? politically livsy? is it my, if you move sounds a little bit farther forward towards the tesa that's not prime isn't follow level level it when i skipped evie in grange and knocking the differences between ukraine and bella ruzen, who's some challenges, do you take that it me but it's not hard to overcome the language barriers, metalli, and ukrainian choir director, alexei,

some litski. give lessons. 03 choirs have come together here from keith minsk. leipzig with its covent house, youth choir. knees a problem, then these are her. so those are parliament. and these are her sels, our democracy movement, v as to communicate standing, we have to reach artistic agreement. i think i'm. ready ready oh, that'll black mountain. the pressure may is course off, but we're here in warsaw. in berlin, in germany, generally, we feel free is in 5. 0, here they are free from persecution, rehearsals, as a democratic process. all the musicians are aware that this project is about more than musical collaboration. oh lawn. but here to freedom has limits. that process, especially for the free choir from belarus,

o fear of the violence and repression in their own country haunts them. the problem is not prison. the problem is if they know him from the choir, they will want me to sell others and they are torturing people. i don't know if my life is in danger, but my health is definitely in danger. i have relatives there and the regime is very upset about us and they want to revenge the terrorizing. not only the protests themselves, but their relatives as well. the thing about lucas shanker as that he never ever forgives. 0 one member who chooses to dispense with the mask or choir director galena cause he made of sky. the regime in belarus already knows her identity and as detained and interrogated her. she found the choir with like minded singers when unrest 1st swept bella. ruth, in 2020 it's

a lot of course the dean in the process when you think of me. so for months we took it to the street with almost every day beat it for a moment. let us gauge the flash mob said birth mormons, who that is usually so the people in ballers could hear us every day. getting what gustavo, the key quickly became a well known choir that everybody wanted to hear. and everyone loved felice over which us in us started people, started learning our songs. so my sticky, they saw as a symbol of the belly ruffian resistance and the best selling us. the government came looking for out in us. they literally hunted us one down. oh, oh, did with her always for her. so for the piece by olga put guys kaya for the beethoven fest, the composer follows progress closely. she herself is living an exile in warsaw and getting by giving organ concerts and music lessons. she's afraid to return to bella

bruce. ah, daniel, because i can't go back to valerie right now. i'm being harassed. my music is banned. so i am living in poland. the piece is dedicated to the bell ruffian dissident. maria kennedy asked me cover, who became known and rolled over in 2020 for her courage and the band guard of the uprising. and remember tatiana homage the discipline sister has come for the concert often and they'll be the 1st time shows you the composition for maria, herself, a flute player. oh, on the title, is the sky of mary. mushy. was no common maria. i have known each other for a long time. we study together at the conservatory, along with my husband, joshua neglect in law. tatyana brought some letters. her sister sent her from prison, and bella russo, how she stays in contact with the outside world. oh,

since january 9th, 2022, she's in a correctional colony in goldman. it's a city close to ukraine. she writes a lot of thoughts about ideas, how people survive her whole people leave these 2 years in different competencies. and she mentioned sir, quotation of, she seems, it's churchill winston churchill. when you go from the hell did not stop. tatyana misses her sister and campaigns for her release around the world to very difficult situation and very difficult, almost 2 years. and also because she cannot listen to music, she is not allowed to play duluth, of course with i supposed have food so many months ago actually. and so we were confused because the struggle against lucas shank goes regime has brought the 2

women together. maria cal, yes. nick kava, the prominent opposition leader and the world class composer, olga put guys garcia. they agree that bella bruce had reached a moment of decision. both are trying in their own way to free their country of its dictatorship. ah, neosha adjustable much little i very much wanted maria to hear my peace in what whenever i think about where maria is now, i start tearing out this, this little zip that have been i lose because it's, it's like just tears. it's a kind of hopeless network because you don't know what you can that you could look at. the only thing you can do is write a piece and dedicated to this person and upset. but if you genius who teaches them julia maria is i ria, is a symbol of her protest movement. ah, but it really is a symbol of the peaceful revolution. milliken that it will, its on maria, maria smiles. van the and then whenever others are completely stressed out and maria always smiles and says that everything will be fine. he had some to fill. i

may be out now long and maybe not even tomorrow at school, but eventually it will be fire him started. we'll have to stay strong, thus 11, and that's how it is that it is found. lice been imprisoned in fellows for a year and a half. now in the we know that she'll always stay strong. and basil iraq stock lack back to the rehearsals are more saw today. the musicians are going through the ukranian pieces. all contemporary works and almost all written since the russian invasion of ukraine. one especially moving work is called silent prayer. 2 ah, it's conducted by alexia sham. litski rehearsals are overshadowed by talk of the war and ukraine. i had that everything will been okay. it soon, but my colleague, ukraine in said that unfortunately,

they don't believe that at all. don't so soon with the monitor. yeah, it was livid for me. it's a chance to recharge my batteries. looked at a that's a pleasure and a chance to recuperate, lebanon, rodney, and me just like to free choir from belarus. these ukranian musicians are unwavering in their resistance against the russian war of aggression menacing their countries, cultural identity and existence. it wants to silence an entire generation of a training artist, but they aren't about to give up. commercial tyree novice war has 2 sides for art. lamasta's, it's a chance to open you. crane of to europe and show it's like been cheryl and to because i'm the shadow russian arch. i yeah. the shadow chikavsky we block off. you have just the coverage test with this between checkoff score proportion to call

richer because at the national training composers are taking center stage, the keys yet event that the chem copies, if we may have never had this opportunity received such interest with a swore, you call them the malibu more hate a coin for a course that award self is a nightmare. not as disclosure. a hitler ca in australia looked saw national was a tap bolt champ and others. it's a car of sometimes the only thing that helps is music they nikki, which it pover notice had the dorm ho here he boss, he cause heard, oh, easily it merlow t o h. her her as eaters, in the evening, it's time to bid farewell to warsaw after an emotional and moving written full of music. after dinner they break out into song melodies from ukraine and bella, ruth steeped in poignancy and

a long for home. oh oh, they are constantly worried about friends and family who still live in daily danger to warn ukraine and repression and belarus. o m o m a m o. ah ah, it's finally time the moment every one has been waiting for has come. all the

choirs are coming together and bon and making their final preparations for their concert at the beethoven fest. ms allegedly said that you already grown lot yet so that we know each other had cynthia ali. they were all at the same level, even as people and in terms of skill competence as it got thinking about this project. come for a very long time that in on some cough. but now we're here actually making music together dizzying into and exploring our on yes, great the see on this as naturally talks he said it but they, the rehearsals are important for me personally because i'm not able to take part in international projects. often have bought up mostly was to pluck the kids miss that it is not on that project. that requires a warming up one last time and getting a bit nervous noon a more years. and i've made

a lot of new friends and heard interesting music bought the like over song bella, russian music before her. and you cynical and i really like it room was again, when you said the doses for double that in of are. so it was the 1st step of this one. now lee, i expect to be closer to each other. so we have more of on correlations. and then comes a surprise. olga put guys kaya has received an unexpected message from dissident maria coll, yesenia kava. i'm doing fine, she writes optimistically. i'm in good spirits. good guy. yeah, nip. saw as a busy when i wrote this piece dedicated to my childhood friend maria. i 1st sent it to beethoven fast and i think is one. and then i thought maybe it would be nice to send the score to murray. it's father, he doesn't eat like a dog,

but i didn't have great expectation with them with alice. he did that. but miraculously, he managed to bring the score to her in a prison just about and she was happy to be able to read the sheet music with his ne, i was technically not allowed to do that in prison ability. and she's young black card to me and all the musicians to thank us, eat and wouldn't stop us it. but if you can look up a prescription or ye, ah, the former plenary hall has been turned into a concert venue with an entirely new look and feel awe. after rehearsing, intensely for weeks, natalia alixia anake is completely focused. ah the sky of mary whiles the audience at the beethoven fast and bon

ah ah ah oh but for the free choir the concert is only one step on a long road. there fight for a future and freedom goes on in bon and in bella. ruth ah, this is beethoven best. once again, put center stage artist taking a strong stance in terms of war and violence in europe.

ah. and for the finale, a moving plea for global peace. from a former time. this 18th century corral is part of a container by johann sebastian bach. it's called for light on sweden, canadian dish. grant as peace graciously o metallic stomach is among the performers the festival was inspiring. but what happens next? mm. j junior was correct. i don't know. i can't say when he was good year, the gates the at sign back on, but every one will go their own way. house problem i go course those who come from
