NEW YORK (AP) — Keri-Lynn Wilson was hired Monday as music director of the Kyiv Camerata.
She succeeds Valery Matyukhin, who established the chamber orchestra in 1977 and died last year.
“We shall be performing for Ukraine’s brave and discerning audiences and defending Ukraine’s cultural identify from those who wish to deny it,” Wilson said in a statement.
