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 classical composition was a winner in the Beethoven International Music Competition, the Intercontinental Music Awards, the Erik Satie International Music Competition, the Vivaldi International Music Competition, the Carl Reinecke International Music Competition, the Clouzine International Music Awards, and the New Age Notes Radio Music Awards.
