The Kyiv Symphony Orchestra & Chorus

KSOC is returning to the southeast region of the United States for its 13th tour. KSOC is part of Music Mission Kiev (MMK), which uses sacred music to spread and share the Gospel with Ukrainians. Despite Ukraine’s centuries-old Christian heritage, 70 years of atheistic rule under the Soviet system severely strained the proclamation of the Gospel message. Churches were destroyed or converted to secular uses, and professing Christians were often torn from their families and exiled to the Gulag (prison labor camps) in Siberia. Ukraine’s history does indeed sound like a Hollywood movie plot. Regrettably the storyline is not fiction, but a bitter reality of Ukraine’s tyrannized past, brutally meshed into the present, ongoing, inhuman war Russia has once again waged on Ukraine. 

Under the leadership of Conductor Vika Konchakovskaya, 30 brilliant women from KSOC will perform a variety of music, including sacred classical masterpieces, Ukrainian folk songs in costume, and contemporary jazz works. Vika and the ladies have worked hard to create a special concert program and deliver a command performance. Due to the war, the men of KSOC are not permitted to travel to the U.S. at this time but are coordinating their own concert in Kyiv. 

Join us for an unforgettable experience from this exceptional group of world-class musicians. Without a doubt, KSOC’s talent, dedication, and deep appreciation for Americans will deliver a concert that is not only extraordinary, but delightfully memorable in every sense.
