NSOU was formed by Ukraine’s Council of Ministers in 1918. It is the country’s principal orchestra and recognised as one of the finest symphony orchestras in Eastern Europe.
The 98-strong orchestra has achieved world-wide recognition through its many international tours, which include Australia, the US, Europe and Asia.
Since 1993, it has released more than 100 critically acclaimed recordings featuring both Ukrainian and international repertoire. In 1994, the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) rated NSOU’s recording of Boris Lyatoshynsky’sSymphonies No. 2 and No. 3 as “The Best Recording of the Year”. The recording of Silvestrov’sRequiem for Larissa was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 and the recording of Bloch and Lees’ Violin Concertos was nominated for a Grammy Award four years later.
‘We are deeply grateful to the UK venues and tour promoters who are working with us to ensure this ambitious tour happens. We can’t wait to return to the UK after more than two decades and have the opportunity to perform to UK audiences all over the country.’
(Alexander Hornostai, NSOU managing director and producer)
