Intermission
MAX BRUCH: Concerto No.1 in G Minor, Op.26
It was the first concert after the full-scale invasion, for New Era Orchestra. We had a unique chance to meet each other again. Why? Because all of the musicians came to the USA from another countries to give a concert in support of Ukraine.
The Soloist of the concert was internationally-acclaimed Grammy Award winner, American violinist Joshua Bell. The outstanding violinist in collaboration with New Era Orchestra performed at the Odesa National Opera and National Philharmonic of Ukraine under the guidance of the conductor Tetiana Kalinichenko in 2021, with the support of Chopivsky Family Foundation.
The Kennedy Center scene is one of the most prestigious concert halls in the whole world.
“The concert was beyond fabulous. A heartfelt and thoughtful celebration of Ukraine, which we all support from the bottom of our hearts and want the best at this very difficult time.
Also, an incredible showcase of the deep artistic talent that the country has built over the years, which says so much about who you are as a country. What a treat!!!
Thank you for a magical evening of magnificent music.”
Claudia Franco
“After Ukraine’s victory, a new era will come for Ukraine, Europe and the Free World, and our own New Era Orchestra is so appropriately named to welcome this New Era!”

We gave a charity concert on behalf of Ukrainian support in the war. All gathered money are given to UNITED24.
UNITED24 is a global initiative for supporting Ukraine, which was launched by Volodymyr Zelenskyi, the President of Ukraine.
“We fell in love with New Era Orchestra on October 18 at the Kennedy Center Concert Hall Benefit Concert for Ukraine. We were screaming our hearts out with “Bravo’s, Bravisima and Slava Ukraini!” while waving two of your beautiful flags. We feel it honors the world! We wrap it proudly around our shoulders every weekend when we join pro Ukraine rallies in front of the White House.
We thank you for your music and the spirit in which you conducted and the orchestra played. We were mesmerized and deeply touched. We had tears in our eyes listening to the rendition of your National Anthem for strings and solo violin.”
Sylvia and Peter Scherer
“Congratulations on an outstanding performance tonight! The concert was thrilling. Not only was the orchestra exceptional, but the conductor certainly lived up to her name. And of course Joshua Bell – what more can be said of him! Just a fabulous evening. Thank you so much for all of your efforts. You have to be so pleased as it was such a success. And of course, Alexa, was the perfect master of ceremony. Your words touched the hearts of everyone and so beautifully stated.”
