MH-17 Commemoration concert in Kyiv
A commemoration concert for MH-17 took place in Kyiv.
The concert was attended by
President Poroshenko, Prime Minister Yatsenyuk, Vice Prime Minister
Zubko, Minister of Foreign Affairs Klimkin, Chief OSCE-Monitor Apakan,
Head of Recovery Mission Aalbersberg, the Diplomatic Corps and the Dutch
community (including the Dutch business community) in Kyiv, among
others.
Led by the Dutch conductor Jeroen
Weierink, the Liatoshynsky Classical Music Ensemble gave a modest but
touching performance of Mozart’s Requiem, and several other pieces. In
addition to contributions of the Dutch, Malaysian and Australian
Ambassadors, President Poroshenko held a probing speech. The President
was visibly moved by the ceremony, something he told the same night
during his phone call with Dutch Prime Minister Rutte.
The concert took place in the National Organ and Chamber Music Hall, a
Roman-Catholic church in the center of the city, well-known for its
impressive gothic architecture and good acoustics. The concert was
organized by the Embassy of the Netherlands, in cooperation with the
Malaysian and Australian Embassies.
