America-Ukraine Strategic Partners (AUSP) Sponsors Landmark Cultural Series at UNESCO-Heritage Site

KYIV, Ukraine, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- America-Ukraine Strategic Partners (AUSP) joins a distinguished roster of sponsors for this year's Bouquet Kyiv Stage Festival, held at the historic Saint Sophia Cathedral in the heart of Kyiv. Alongside Deloitte, the Embassy of Israel in Ukraine, and the Ukrainian Institute, AUSP is proud to support one of Kyiv's most beloved cultural traditions.

Bouquet Kyiv Stage's 2025 theme — "The Heart of Europe Beats in Ukraine" — underscores Ukraine's central place in the defense of European values. In collaboration with cultural institution Dom Master Klass, Bouquet Kyiv Stage presents over 40 free public events across music, visual art, film, theater, children's education, and literary dialogues.

"Cultural events like Bouquet are a platform for building the relationships and ideas that shape Ukraine's future," says AUSP Head of Partnerships David Grasso. "AUSP is honored to stand with the Ukrainian arts community at such a pivotal moment."

Among Bouquet Kyiv Stage's 2025 festival highlights:

• "Flowers from the Frontline": A moving Ukrainian-British visual art exhibition featuring flora collected near the front lines.
• "Liberated Music": A concert spotlighting previously banned or forgotten works by Ukrainian composers Viktor Barvinsky, Petro Synytsia, and Kostyantyn Shypovych, performed by the Liatoshynsky Capella Orchestra with conductor Kateryna Nikolenko and pianist Anna Khmara.
• "White Bouquet": The festival's moving closing concert unites Ukrainian compositions by Arvo Pärt, Giya Kancheli, and Victoria Poleva, performed by the Kyiv Camerata and conducted by Nikoloz Rachveli, musical director of the Georgian Philharmonic and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.

"Metaphorically speaking, the heart of Europe beats in Ukraine. Yet it is a heart bleeding, because the world today stands on the threshold of losing its essence — where meanings fade, where the basic notions of 'good' and 'evil,' 'black' and 'white,' dissolve. And this is what our festival speaks about. This heart beats here, in Ukraine, in Saint Sophia of Kyiv," says Evgeni Utkin, Bouquet Kyiv Stage and Dom Master Klass Co-Founder.
