During this tour, the orchestra will give concerts in the Great Hall of Kiev Music Academy named for P. Tchaikovsky, Soldiers Rehabilitation Hospital, newly renovated Severodonetsk Drama and Music Theatre; organize educational events in an orphanage of Severodonetsk and a school of Novodruzhesk. On a tour together with the orchestra a raising opera star, tenor Edgaras Davidovičius, Conductor Emeritus Donatas Katkus and Chief Conductor and Artistic Director Modestas Barkauskas will come.

The orchestra does not limit its visit with just concerts. Together with Lithuanian Caritas, it continues an initiative that has started in 2017 – gathering financial support that orchestra will use to buy necessities for the orphanages in Severodonetsk and basic music equipment for the school in Novodruzhesk. The orchestra will personally hand the bought things to the responsible people of above-mentioned organizations.

In support of the initiative, together with Caritas of Lithuania and the Embassy of Ukraine in Lithuania the orchestra organizes a FREE CLASSICAL MUSIC CONCERT “BIRDS OF EDEN”.
