Frolyak: Gloria
Verdi: Requiem, with Ailyn Pérez (soprano), Natalie Lewis (mezzo-soprano), René Barbera (tenor), Soloman Howard (bass)

The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra returns to Lincoln Center for a performance of Verdi's Requiem, one of the great works of memorial art, in honor of the Ukrainian people and in the hope of a better future. The orchestra will be joined by the Chorus of the Metropolitan Opera and a quartet of exceptional soloists: soprano Ailyn Pérez, mezzo soprano Natalie Lewis, tenor René Barbera, and bass Soloman Howard. The concert will open with the US premiere of a newly commissioned Gloria from the acclaimed Ukrainian composer Bohdana Frolyak.

The Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra was formed in 2022 by Canadian Ukrainian conductor Keri-Lynn Wilson in direct response to Russia’s full-scale invasion and bears witness to an invincible country and to a culture that will never be silenced.
