BBC Two - Ukraine’s Musical Freedom Fighters with Clive Myrie

Can musicians form an orchestra in ten weeks in a fight for their cultural identity?

Can musicians form an orchestra in ten weeks in a fight for their cultural identity? Clive Myrie travels across Ukraine to meet the performers who use music, not guns, as a weapon.

Clive Myrie travels across Ukraine to meet musicians who are preparing to leave their families in their war-torn country in order to create an orchestra and perform at the Royal Albert Hall. With only ten days to rehearse, can they succeed in their ambition to fight the war with their music, instead of with guns? And will the concerts touch the world in the way that they hope?
