Memento Odesa: A concert between jazz, classical and Ukrainian resilience
On Monday, November 30, 2026, the concert project Memento Odesa brings an extraordinary connection of chamber music, jazz, and modern sound language to the Bürgerhaus Mainz-Lerchenberg. Sebastian Studnitzky meets with his band and the Odesa Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Dykyi. The performance begins at 7:30 PM.
Orchestral depth meets improvised freedom
At its center lies a musical encounter where classical orchestration meets jazz openness. Trumpet, piano, band, and chamber orchestra merge into a sound that combines the intimacy of chamber music, cinematic expansiveness, and spontaneous improvisation. The stage performance thrives on precise synchronization as well as the individual virtuosity of the musicians.
A tribute to Odesa
Memento Odesa was composed by Sebastian Studnitzky and is understood as a musical tribute to the city of Odesa and its people. The project emerged in 2023 as a spontaneous musical act: Three works were recorded directly at the Odesa Philharmonic, right in the midst of war, as a sign of solidarity with the Ukrainian population. In the meantime, it has developed into an internationally recognized concert project.
Music as a sign of cohesion
For the Germany tour 2026, the Odesa Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra travels with 22 musicians. Under the direction of Volodymyr Dykyi, a sound body unfolds that combines classical precision with emotional directness. The concert series supports Ukrainian aid organizations; proceeds from the project benefit, among others, Children of Heroes.
An evening with an award-winning musician
Sebastian Studnitzky is one of the defining musical personalities at the intersection of classical, jazz, and electronics. The trumpeter, pianist, and composer has received the OPUS Klassik and the ECHO Jazz awards. Together with the Odesa Chamber Orchestra and his band, he creates a concert experience that combines musical refinement, emotional impact, and social responsibility.
Conclusion: Sound images that resonate
The audience can expect an intense concert evening with orchestral richness, jazzy mobility, and a clear message of solidarity. Those who want to experience Odesa, Ukrainian culture, and modern concert music in an extraordinary live atmosphere should not miss this special benefit concert at the Bürgerhaus Mainz-Lerchenberg.
