ah, ah ha ha oh, they are torturing people. think about lucas sankoh is that he never ever forgives me. oh, as duck kind of ties, no time to kind of us as see, it's not the time for reflection, so necessity, it's time for action. oh, she writes, a lot of thoughts about her id is how people survive. she seems it's churches, winston churchill, when you go from the held in on stocks. huh . maggie gamma may not know we are united. there are many of us.

we will be victorious. hottest, her chance, all the members of the only core, the free choir of bella, bruce, are determined. their weapon is music. their battle ground 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 ruth in 2020 before it was brutally suppressed by dictator alexander lucas shinkel. oh, conductor vitaly, alec still knock also to pardon me. uprising in the bella rosier capital minsk. oh, she uses art to fight repression. his message is one of defiance. oh, oh, as this one's a me soon, our mission is to show that that a roof still exists. and there is still a free been a roof, or even if a small line is on mostly in exile on left is indeed

a maple. and many other people who are against the regime against abortion, warn ukraine. he wants to express themselves and want to be her title oyster on the wrong document. and that's why they're here at the beethoven 1st. the frequent concert was held in an unusual place. the plenary chamber and bon once the seat of the westerman parliament, an historic and a political setting. ah, this year the beethoven 1st term, the spotlight on eastern europe on repression and bella ruth, as well as the war in ukraine. a nation who struggle for survival has been closely followed by the whole world. and had been best, not only a celebration of music, but a clear statement of support with his country's opposition movements. the question

is, how can art survive in times of war and repression? what role can music play in bella, bruce or ukraine? was he calmed and can use it? can't stop war when parts can stop war, stop arbor to go to art and music. you can change. people can ment, i think alec is a medium with which we can reach very many people within via if a dimension and i function as that the household of ballasa, national, national going after the rigged, 2020 elections and belarus after the government crackdown. our musicians wanted to do something i was, was vicki kimball and they didn't want to be passively a others like lucas. it's her east as they stood next to the people. and thing is that it became a national movement in belarus. like if it's an island at all? yes, mister mussa coming at you. i think that music can change the world and that every person can change and use them. what does move harman law nashikuru their desert? people and ukraine. good to be surrounded by music. ver, the,

in april, last year, we staged concerts in airway shelters, to comfort little that from frightens or the rather than the laconically they, nicky throttle is sandita wooden. the 2nd one we did over the neighbors. sure, alexia sham. britsky. and his keith based sophia chamber choir, ripened germany from war 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 ukrainian capital. but it sense of identity and purpose has changed since february. oh dr. the, my old sir. ah, this yourselves as cultural advisors of ukraine,

and i'm not sure you me see a national hot or a senate 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 beach shows knowledge progress. coker taller e or cache. yes, they put a while. it receives crew fun home. oh, natalia unaccented 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 and via miss knocked plots. and we must get 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 and 2020 both considered themselves activists put guys k as one of the most important composers in bella. bruce. she was asked by the beethoven 1st to compose a piece this year. each year, the festival commission to work in cooperation with which avella, now the old friends are here to collaborate on a musical mission with mm, gentle pneumonia. she all the intention is on ukraine at the moment that our friends and valor is our non jail. and we're thinking about them eve, and it's hard for them because they know what's happening in ukraine,

which is also so tang insured into the flu. much has happened to 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 30 and what's an end of the ocean lee? there was no time to really cry and it's i flatter, vaguely, arrogant. this is a line for action us one more stadium. yeah. forget it ceased you have to do something. it reflects on assisted site. feel tutton. the plenary chamber and bon was once the seat of the buddhist tug, the center and symbol of post war german democracy. what better place for a concert with? no google does. he stays davia in all week,

but simply a team discusses the venue and agree the setting makes an interesting change from a concert hall prepare for a little differently. yeah. with the forms ecos is, is vicky sash fund, and it's very exciting to be in this room that he has offered and tried. and you're aware of all the decisions that were made hearing here, vada olive, but 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 spoken to 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 me for a comas castle square. reminders of ukraine are everywhere. people are collecting donations for the wars victims. the border to ukraine or war zone is only about a 100 kilometers east metalli annex sooner decided this is a suitable part of eastern europe to get all the musicians together for over herself. ah,

so is d as outside of warsaw has now become a symbol of neighborly relations? give all the stuff vase or sub was also the 1st city to be completely overcrowded with people fling ukraine gifted and mentioned. and of course, hook the consensus totally new situation that all of us here and more so are getting reacquainted and finding on home is here in vazo once warsaw it brings us all together on rush hour found. and sada rance on level calendar will showcase came audio booklet ukrainian has both an e and in san t as oh, call not, not love. who live with kathy? is it my and will you move sounds a little bit farther forward towards the tisa less not prime isn't fall la la, la la, la, la, escaped in grange and knocking the differences between ukraine and bella. ruth, to some challenges the taken. it is a limited key,

but it's not hard to overcome. the language barriers, metalli, and ukrainian choir director, alexei, some litski. give lessons o. 3 choirs have come together here from keith minsk. leipzig with its covent house, youth choir. knees a problem. then these are houses are parliament and these are herself our democracy movement. v as to communicate standing, we have to reach artistic agreement. i think i'm. ready ready ready oh, little black mountain. the pressure may, is course off, but we're here in warsaw. in born 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 protestors themselves, but their relatives as well. the thing about lucas jenko as that he never ever forgives. 0, one member who chooses to dispense with the mass has 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 and 2020 i might have caused the dean in the process when you can kick me to. so for months we took it to the street with almost every day beat it for a moment when his gauge flash, mobs and performance. it 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 every one loves phyllis over which i am the standard people started learning our songs. so my sticky, they saw as a symbol of the belly ruffian resistance and the best selling us a government came looking for out in the us. they literally hunted, doesn't down. oh, oh, did with her. i was for her. so for the piece by olga put guys kaya for the beethoven fast, 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 colliers recover, who became known and rolled over in 2020 for her courage, and the vanguard of the uprising can remember tatiana homage the dissidence sister has come from a concert. often in bill 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 nicole maria, and i have known each other for a long time. we study together at the conservatory, along with my husband,

joshua good kim hawk. 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 and she writes a lot of thoughts about ideas, how people survive her hobby belief these 2 years in different competencies. and she mentioned sir, quotation of, she seems, it's churchill winston churchill. when you go through 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 flute. 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 called, yes, nick kava, the prominent opposition leader and the world class composer. olga put guys garcia, they agree that bella bruce has 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 the stills, stills, it, that have been, i lose because it's, it's like just tears. it's a kind of hopelessness with that because you don't know what you can that you could sort of. the only thing you can do is write a piece and dedicated to this person to them except, but as eugene was, we teach them julia maria is i ria, is a symbol of her protest movement. artillery is a symbol of the peaceful revolutionary can 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 fine. i am starting to have to stay strong, thus 11, and that's how it is. idea is found lice been imprisoned fellows for a year and a half. now, in the we know that she'll always stay strong and darcy iraq stock left back to the rehearsals or 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 2 ah, it's conducted by alexia sham. litski rehearsals are overshadowed by talk of the

war and ukraine. i had that ever thing that will been okay. it soon, but my colleague ukrainian 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. the benefit i'd bmw, just like a 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, saginaw, this war has 2 sides for art. lamasta's chance to open ukraine of to europe and show it's like been shuttlecock and to because i'm the shadow russian arch. i yeah

. the shadow chikavsky, we play coffee have shostakovich that with this between checkoff score proportions 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 us war you call him the malibu more hate a coin threat course to word so it is a nightmare. we not so this machine a hitler ca national here. oh let's saw national was a tap bolt champ. and those are to come up. sometimes the only thing that helps is music they nikki, which it pover notice had the dorm logs here he boss, he cause hard core horn. beasley is o h her her as eaters in the evening, it's time to bid farewell to warsaw after an emotional and moving weekend full of

music. after dinner, they break out in a song melodies from ukraine and bella, ruth steeped in poignancy and a long for home. oh ah, they're constantly worried about friends and family who still live in daily danger . the worn ukraine and repression and belarus. oh oh . oh oh. 2 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 all right grown lot yet that we know each other had cynthia ali, they were all at the same level, a boat 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 and are and it's working on yes, great the see on this is naturally told 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 missing the newsletter on that project that requires a warming up one last time and getting a bit nervous me

a more years. and i've made a lot of new friends and heard, interesting music bought like over song bella, russia, music before her. and you cynical and i really like it. room was again, when you said of cesspools in of us how it was there. the 1st step of this one. now lee, i expect to be closer to each other. so we've had more one correlations. and then comes a surprise. olga put gas car. yeah. has received an unexpected message from dissident maria cal yesenia. cava i'm doing fine. she writes optimistically. i'm in good spirits, cuz now yeah, nip saw is a pretty easy when i wrote this piece dedicated to my childhood friend maria. i 1st

sent it to beethoven's fast and i think is and then i thought maybe it would be nice to send the score to marry. it's father, he doesn't eat like a dog, but i didn't have great expectation with alice. he did that. but miraculously, he managed to bring the score to her in a prison, just give up 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 not black card to me and all the musicians to thank us e can, will stop us it. but if you can move the curb position 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, and bella, ruth ah,

this is beethoven best, once again puts in a 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 us peace, graciously o metallic stomach is among the performers the festival was inspiring, but what happens next? mm. j junior was cuz i don't
