The Metropolitan Opera has announced “A Concert for Ukraine” on March 14, 2022.

The concert is set to be conducted by Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin leading the Met Orchestra and Chorus. The special concert will offer solidarity for Ukrainian citizens under attack, with all ticket sales and proceeds supporting relief efforts in the country.

In a statement, Met General Manager Peter Gelb said, “The Met and its artists, led by Yannick, wish to lend our support to the innocent victims of Ukraine, whose lives have been torn asunder. We hope the power of our performance will provide some measure of artistic solace, while helping to inspire empathetic people around the world to make donations.”

Nézet-Séguin added, “Music truly has the power to heal, and I hope this special concert will demonstrate our unwavering support for the suffering people of Ukraine. In times of crisis, it is so important that artists unite and provide consolation and inspiration through our work.”

The program will include the Ukrainian National Anthem, “A Prayer for the Ukraine” by Valentin Silvestrov, Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber, “Va, pensiero” from Verdi’s “Nabucco,” the Four Last Songs by Richard Strauss featuring Lise Davidsen, and the Finale from Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 with Elza van den Heever, Jamie Barton, Piotr Beczała, and Ryan Speedo Green.

The concert will be broadcast in the U.S. via many of the radio stations that regularly carry the Met’s Saturday matinee radio series as well as internationally via the European Broadcasting Union. The concert will also be carried live on Met Opera Radio on Sirius XM Channel 355 and streamed live via metopera.org.
