The Donetsk Youth Palace “Yunist” invites students and educators to participate in the open online festival “Play the Strings of Victory.”
The event, which will run from April 20 to May 13, 2026, is designed to support creatively gifted youth and promote the art of guitar playing.
Individual performers and groups aged 12 and older are invited to participate in the following categories: 12–15 years old, 16–18 years old, 19+, mixed groups, and educators.
The festival program includes three categories: “Author’s Confession” for bard songs, “Strings of Memory” for patriotic and volunteer-themed works, and “Instrumental Drive” for solo performers and ensembles across various musical genres: from classical to rock arrangements.
To register, please submit an application and a video recording of your performance marked “Strings of Victory” to the email address [email protected] by April 30, 2026. Each application must be submitted separately for each participant or creative group.
An important part of the festival will be the online voting for the “Audience Choice Award,” which will take place from May 6 to 10, 2026, on the Palace’s official website at https://yunist.org.ua. This project is part of an educational initiative aimed at fostering civic engagement among young people through art and honoring Ukraine’s modern heroes.
