Musicians and War is a 10-episode documentary project by Radio Kultura that tells the story of musicians who are currently defending Ukraine on the front, volunteering, and defending Ukrainian culture in the world. These are the stories of 37 artists, composers, conductors, and singers who have gone through many personal transformations since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion: some had to take up an assault rifle instead of their instrument, others opened a charity fund and began raising millions for Ukrainian soldiers, paramedics, and children affected by the war.
There are many celebrities among the characters in the series, but at the same time, their experiences of war reflect the feelings of all Ukrainians who also defend our borders and culture. This project provides a unique cultural perspective to understand the full-scale Russian invasion through the worldview of Ukrainian artists. And this is why this radio documentary project is extremely important as Russia destroys the cultural heritage of Ukraine daily.
