The <em>Babyn Yar Requiem<\/em> by the eminent Ukrainian composer Yevhen Stankovych features excellent music and presents the facts about Babyn Yar.<\/p>\n<p><em>A German Requiem<\/em> by Brahms was chosen because it is a wholly spiritual (but not religious) work that elevates the spirit and promises the deliverance of a better future.\u00a0 Hunka believes this strong concert program is a landmark event for Ukrainians as it fosters a mature recognition of the tragedy. Furthermore, the program enlisted global musical talents\u2014including the Dutch stage director Annechien Koerselman, a specialist in minimalist staged concert programs; the Principal Guest Conductor of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich Oksana Lyniv; and the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian performers included the National Choir of Ukraine <em>Dumka<\/em>, which was augmented by additional young singers from the Kyiv Conservatory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WxZQODF3H80?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The internationally renowned opera singer Pavlo Hunka developed the concept for the concert held at the National Opera of Ukraine in Kyiv on 29 September 2016.\u00a0 The concert started with a prayer and then progressed...<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5612,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,58,124,128,126],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5617","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uje-initiatives","category-babyn-yar-commemoration","category-sponsored-projects","category-kontakt-tv","category-audio-visual-media","primary-category-19","primary-category-uje-initiatives"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5617","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5617"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5617\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5618,"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5617\/revisions\/5618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5612"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5617"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5617"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ukrainianjewishencounter.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5617"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
