Even under fire from the Armed Forces of Ukraine they maintained faith in Victory: Donetsk Philharmonic is 90 years old
The Donetsk State Academic Philharmonic celebrated its 90th anniversary - work did not stop even during the days of fierce fighting on the outskirts of the capital of the DPR.
“Even when the Donetsk land shook from the explosions of enemy shells, music sounded in the Philharmonic! You sowed faith in victory and the coming of peace into our souls. Thank you for your selfless service to art, goodness, and beauty!” – one of the leaders of the “Donetsk Republic” movement, Alexey Muratov, addressed the team.
The head of the DPR Denis Pushilin recalled that 2021 in the republic declared the Year of Russian Culture. “Many wonderful concerts await us on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev, whose name is given to the concert hall of the capital’s Philharmonic,” Pushilin said in his address.
Let us recall that in the summer of 2014, during the period of active hostilities in the Donbass, the Donetsk Philharmonic did not stop its work and was the only working cultural institution in the city. For high professionalism and fidelity in serving art, in September 2015 the Donetsk Philharmonic was awarded academic status.
