Musical compositions - Kiev Symphony Orchestra settles down in Monheim.
Starting from February 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the orchestra embarked on a foreign tour. In order to draw attention to the serious circumstances at home and to resist the wiping out of Ukrainian culture through military attacks from Russia, the orchestra should be granted the chance to participate in international concerts in Monheim.
Monheim's housing construction company has agreed to offer housing for the 130 Ukrainian women and men who will move to Monheim in late July. As per Mayor Zimmermann, "By accommodating the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra's stay in Monheim am Rhein, we are presenting humanitarian aid and enabling the orchestra to stay visible and audible."
The orchestra's director, Oleksandr Zaitsev, expressed his gratitude towards Monheim am Rhein and the individuals responsible for inviting them. He further stated, "The city of Monheim am Rhein's decision to welcome the orchestra is a tangible demonstration of guarding Ukrainian culture. It's a manifestation of how we're uniting to uphold higher human values."
