The sacred, uninhabited Greek island of Delos will host a concert featuring Ukrainian, Russian, and Greek musicians on Monday, May 30, 2022, according to greekreporter.com.
This concert will be the first of its kind to be held on the island, which is full of ancient ruins and is considered a UNESCO World Heritage site, since antiquity.
The European Union Youth Orchestra, which is comprised of young musicians from across the EU, along with Ukrainian, Russian, and Greek musicians will perform Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, as well as Carmen Fizzarotti’s reworking of Vivaldi’s “Autumn,” entitled “Floating Autumn.”
The piece “Seventeen Strokes of the Bell for Peace and Sustainability” by Marshall Marcus will also be performed at the concert on Delos.
Amongst the musicians will be rising star violinist Diana Tishchenko from Ukraine and Lyra virtuoso Sokratis Sinopoulos from Greece.
The historic concert will be live-streamed starting at 19:30 CET on ARTE and will be projected on large screens in cities across the world.
The goal of the concert, which was organized by the World Human Forum, the European public media ARTE, and the Athens Concert Hall, is to bring awareness to the damaging impacts of climate change and the urgent need to protect the planet.
It marks the beginning of the ALPHA MISSION-ΔELOS, which has the same mission of protecting the environment.
