The Ukrainian Anthem was played all over Europe this week, including by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Hall, a B:Music venue.
Symphony Hall and Town Hall were lit in the colours of the Ukraine flag while the anthem was played by the orchestra, conducted by Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla with violin by Patricia Kopatchinskaja.
The performances from our friends at iconic concert halls across Europe were filmed and edited into one short film to create this poignant message of support, co-ordinated by the European Concert Halls Organisation (ECHO).
