A choir of Ukrainians seeking protection performed at the Festival of Cultures in Liechtenstein

On September 17, 2022 the Festival of Cultures was held in Triesen, where the choir “Okryleny”, consisting of Ukrainians living under C-status in Liechtenstein and Switzerland, performed. The choir was formed in Liechtenstein after they moved from Ukraine. The Ukrainians performed their national songs.

“Just ordinary and very different people gathered here. Most are those who have never seen sheet music, but there are professionals too. Our souls are screaming from the pain of loss, and we have come together to learn to let that energy out,” they say of themselves.


“Okryleny” because they are inspired by the hope that Ukraine will win and that Ukrainians will be able to create a new, modern and uninterrupted Ukraine.


Olga Likhova created this band with one goal – to save herself and others from depression, and she didn’t hope that professional musicians would join the band and that the ensemble would even perform!
