BBC World Service - The Cultural Frontline, Classical musicians in war and exile

Classical musicians from Ukraine, Venezuela and Syria in war and exile

Classical musicians from Ukraine, Venezuela and Syria making art in war and exile.

How is the art musicians create affected by war or displacement from their homelands for other reasons? 

We hear from classical musicians performing while their home is under fire, or whose whole approach to their art is changing because of their exile - including the Ukrainian Freedom Orchestra, which was created in response to the war in Ukraine.

Venezuelan choir director Ana Vanessa Marvez talks about passing on her country’s musical skills to fellow migrants in Chile
 
We also hear from Syrian viola player Raghad Haddad who has discovered artistic liberation alongside the loss and pain of exile.
