”We play for peace”, says Anatolii Vasylkovskii, artistic leader of the Kyiv Soloists. ”It is difficult to put our emotions into words
 our families are in Ukraine and we keep contact with them every day; with our parents, siblings and relatives. Our work is tough right now, but we play. Music helps us in this situation, and it is our duty to bring out Ukrainian culture.”
