Wiener Akademie
Ilia Korol | Conductor
Lena Belkina | Mezzo-soprano

As a result of the war in Ukraine, numerous outstanding musicians, along with many other people, have lost their homes and thus also their work and performance opportunities.
With the project "Energizing Ukraine", the Wiener Akademie orchestra and its artistic director Martin Haselböck would like to make a contribution to offering these persecuted artists opportunities to pursue their profession and further their musical education.

The ticket proceeds of the Baroque Gala will be used to finance scholarships and master classes for Ukrainian musicians.
