At the beginning of 2022, the orchestra went on a European concert tour and
while in Italy, received news of the invasion of Russian troops into Ukraine.
Everything changed and it was no longer possible for them to return home to
Ukraine. In cooperation with leading European concert organizations, the Kyiv
Soloists concert tour was extended indefinitely.
We play for peace in Ukraine!, say the Kyiv Soloists.Kyiv Soloists are in Iceland for the Midnight Sun Music Festival, which is
organized by the Bolungarvík´s Music School and the town of Bolungarvík in the
