MRIYA – THE DREAM. From an ensemble in exile to an established orchestera in Germany’s cultural scene.
MRIYA was founded only a few weeks after the Russian invasion in Ukraine and has a fascinating story.
On this page we to tell You our story and show what we have done until today and to express the gratefulness for the wide support we experience.
Our Ensembles
Mriya started in 2022 as a string quartet, but from the very beginning, the goal was always bigger. What began as a small group of musicians soon grew into a full symphony orchestra, all made up of Ukrainian musicians who had found a new home in Germany and other European countries. Their first performance at Laeiszhalle in Hamburg in April 2022 was a turning point — what began as chamber music quickly transformed into something much larger. Since then, Mriya has had the privilege of performing in some of Germany’s most iconic venues, bringing together the beauty of classical music with the heart and soul of Ukrainian culture. From those early days as a quartet to becoming the full orchestra they are today, Mriya’s journey is about passion, resilience, and the belief that music can touch hearts and change lives.
About us
Mriya was formed by Ukrainian musicians seeking refuge in Germany, with a vision to create a cultural bridge. Founded by Roman Ohem, Kateryna Suprun and Lev Kucher it was evolved from a group of musicians in exile into a recognized professional orchestra in Germany.
