Allerzielenconcert — Music for Ukraine, Eindhoven

The Allerzielenconcerten series combines choral and instrumental music with practical support for Ukraine. Artistic director and conductor Tom Suters leads Projectkoor Lux Aeterna and the Valkenswaards Kamerorkest, joined by pianist Rob van Heck, harpist Inge Frimout, soprano Hatice Aydogan and Ramon van den Boom on harpsichord and harmonium. Ukrainian accordionist Oleg Lysenko also performs without a fee.

The programme opens with Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine. Before the interval, the choir performs the Kyrie and Credo from Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle, with Mascagni’s intermezzo from Cavalleria rusticana between them. After the interval, Lysenko plays the opening movement of Victor Vlasov’s Gulag, his own Rainbow and Piazzolla’s Libertango. These accordion works are interwoven with Herman Finkers’ St. Joris Mis, bringing themes of remembrance, hope and resilience into the concert.

Proceeds go to Stichting Music for Ukraine, founded by Lysenko, to support ambulances, dental equipment and other medical aid. The organizers aim to donate at least €3,000 through this benefit initiative.
