Memorial ride honours veterans and support PTSD sufferers | SaltWireLVIV, Ukraine - At a concert hall in western Ukraine, a classical music programme resurrecting lost and neglected works of Ukraine's repertoire is packing the house nightly, often featuring a resident orchestra that fled the war zone.
"The terrorist attacks from Russia are constant," Demko told Reuters."We need to support people who need, at least a few minutes a day, some kind of peace of mind." "Music has always helped people, ever since ancient times," Shapovalov said."For some, it offers confidence. For some, psychological healing."
Though Lviv is hundreds of miles from the front lines, it is still a huge challenge keeping the concert hall running in a country under siege. When concerts are interrupted by air raid sirens, patrons are ushered into a windowless corridor. The hall spotlights Ukrainian music, including new compositions and little-known works. Many performances are recorded live and posted on YouTube to help the world learn of the work of Ukrainian composers.
