said he 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 stag young. yeah. forget it ceased you have to do something reflects on assisted side. full 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 go to google does. he stays the of a big but simply while the team discusses the venue and agree the city makes an interesting change from a concert hall that boomers look differently. yeah. and the ones ecos as is vicki sash bonds, and it's very exciting to be in this room as he has often inch. i don't, you're aware of all the decisions that were made hearings he of order olive, but everything was decided on a language level even and cheating. we were probably the side,

completely overcrowded with people fling ukrainian gift listed on, 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 vazo once warsaw it brings us all together on to rush all found and sada rance on level come to will showcase came already yet booklet ukrainian has both m e m. okay, and as soon as o u haul mac la hulu, lou lou, lizzie, isic, my, will you move sounds a little bit farther forward towards the tisa less knocked by me than follow, bluntly as gift evie and grange knocking the differences between ukraine on and bella ruzen who's some challenges detected and it g. 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 needs a problem. then 2 things ourselves, our parliament in these rehearsals, our democracy movement v as to communicate standing, we have to reach artistic agreement. i think m o. ready ready ready ready little black mountain. the pressure may, is course off, but we're here in warsaw in dawn and 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, but here to freedom has limits that process, especially for the free choir from belarus. oh,

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 junko as that he never ever forgives. 0, one member who chooses to dispense with the mass has choir director galena cause he mirror sky, the regime and bella luce 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 it's i'm of course nadine in the process when you can kick me to. so for

months we took it to the street almost every day. beat it for a moment. let us gauge the flash mobs and performance. it is usually so the people in ballers could hear us every day getting what castaneda the key quickly. we are in a well known choir that everybody wanted to hear and everyone loves fellow silver witches in the sun. people started learning our songs, so my sticky, they saw a symbol of the belly ruffian resistance, semi for sending us the government came looking for housing in the us. they literally hunted us one down. oh, oh, did with her. or her sales 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

and i can't go back to valerie right now. the police and being harassed. my music is band, but i am living in poland. the piece is dedicated to the bell ruffian dissident maria cal yesterday. kava who became known and rolled over and 2020 for her courage and the vanguard of the uprising. and remember tatiana homage the dissident sister has come for the concert often and will 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 mcmurry and i have known each other for a long time. we study together at the conservatory, along with my husband joshua neglect in hawk. tatyana brought some letters. her sister sent her from prison and bella russo, how she stays in contact with the outside world. since january 9th,

2022, she's in correctional colony in goldman. it's a city close to ukraine. 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 tucked santa missus, 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 we, i to fuss here to 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. an ogre put guys, korea. they agree that bella ruth had reached a moment of decision. both are trying in their own way to free their country of its dictatorship. i neosha adjustable much at the library. much wanted maria to hear my peace with you know, what? whenever i think about where maria is now. i start tearing out the state laws if that had been alice gazette with it's like just tears because it's a kind of hopeless faculty because you don't know what you can deal with. or the only thing you can do is write a piece and dedicated to this person and upset. but if you genius, he teaches him cheering. maria is, i ria, is a symbol of a protest movement, or protein really is a symbol of the peaceful revolutionary canada will. it's 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 out, maybe not now long and maybe not even to morrow at school,

but eventually it will be fine. him started but have to stay strong, thus 11. yeah, that's how it is. idea is found lice been imprisoned, and fellows for a year and a half. now in the we know that she'll always stay strong, and darcy, even lock stock, left back to the rehearsals and 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, o rehearsals are overshadowed by talk of the war in 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 them on a theater was livid for me. it's a chance to recharge my batteries. looked at a but a pleasure and a chance to recuperate. the month it arrives and me just like the 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 training and artists, but they aren't about to give up. the more form savvy. now this war has 2 sides for art, lamasta's, foot chance to open ukraine of to europe and show it's like been cheryl co and to because i'm the shadow russian. art i yeah. the shadow, chikavsky repl, coffee of just the covert this with this between checkoff score proportions to call
