Music, culture, and solidarity came together in the Capital as the Embassy of Ukraine in India presented VOLIA 35, a special concert which was celebrated on Saturday on 35 years of the restoration of Ukraine’s independence.
Derived from the Ukrainian word volia, which translates to both “freedom” and “will”, the event highlighted the spirit of resilience through a diverse lineup of performances.
Curated by musicians Silvija Radjen Kumar and Lanu Yaden, the musical afternoon brought together over 15 Ukrainian, Indian, and international artists. The concert unfolded in two acts.
The first half set a soulful tone with classical piano and violin recitals, featuring timeless Ukrainian tracks alongside global hits. The mood shifted in the second half as a live band took the stage, delivering dynamic rock and contemporary sets.
