Japanese opera singer Sayaki Syomzi and Poland’s very own Mr. Polyansky are the latest international big-hitters who will be showcasing their talents at the National Philharmonic. Chamber music, with that performed on the violin and piano in particular, will be the main focus of the evening, making for a refined and civilised occasion.

Grilled sausages, thumping music, rivers of beer, and even the odd man in ill-fitting-shorts have become as much a calling card of Kyiv’s Oktober Fest as its elder Munich cousin.
