Studnitzky - Studnitzky Memento Odesa (2024) [Official Digital Download]

MEMENTO ODESA is an inspiring musical project initiated by Sebastian Studnitzky and Anastasiia Pokaz to raise awareness and support for Ukraine, particularly in light of the ongoing war and the hardships faced by the people of Odesa. In July 2023, Studnitzky collaborated with the Odesa Philharmonic Orchestra, led by conductor Volodymyr Dikiy, to record three powerful pieces of music in Odesa.

The project not only features the recorded music but also an accompanying music video that documents the trip, the recording sessions, and the situation in Odesa at the time. Tragically, just a few days after the recording, the city's Orthodox Cathedral was severely damaged by a Russian missile attack, a somber reminder of the ongoing conflict. The cathedral, only a few blocks away from the Philharmonic Hall where the music was recorded, became a symbol of the destruction caused by the war. Since then, Odesa has faced nearly daily missile and drone attacks.

The project evolved further following this event. Beyond releasing the album and the video, Studnitzky and his team took the initiative to organize a tour, bringing parts of the Odesa Philharmonic Orchestra for concert tours to Germany. These concerts aim to continue raising awareness about the war’s impact through the universal language of music.
