Ukrainian Mixtape

Platoon releases Ukrainian Mixtape with Dalia Stasevska and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, out July 17. The release of the album, showcasing works by Ukrainian composers Mykola Lysenko, Levko Kolodub, Borys Liatoshynsky, and Fedir Yakymenko, coincides with Stasevska leading the BBC Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and the BBC Singers in the First Night of the BBC Proms.

The motivation to create this album, my Ukrainian Mixtape, was born both from my personal history - as someone with deep roots in the country's culture, and from this current moment in history, when Ukrainian identity and heritage feels especially fragile and deeply in need of preservation. I hope this album will inspire audiences around the world to discover, celebrate, and cherish these unique voices and the cultural legacy they carry. -Dalia Stasevska
