That same year\, on June 10\, his Symphony Unbroken was performed alongside Beethoven’s Eroica at the closing concert of Kharkiv Music Fest — the first symphonic concert in Kharkiv since the start of the full-scale war. \nPresented by Mannes Sounds Festival in collaboration with the Mannes Composition Department / Composition Forum. \nPresented by the College of Performing Arts at The New School.
