I composed The Courage of Despair - A Tribute to the People of Ukraine originally as a piano solo. I have now created a symphonic version, The Courage of Despair Orchestral - Tribute to Ukraine, to evoke the emotion of the composition through the voice of a symphonic orchestra. This neoclassical composition was a finalist in the International FMC-Film Music Contest, Bronze Medal winner in the Global Music Awards, and recently was a winner in the Intercontinental Music Award.
