Before the show, Denis Doroshenko expressed his happiness to be back in Antalya for a second time.

He shared the band’s history, explaining that Prime Orchestra was formed in 2014 and has performed across many European countries.

“After the war between Russia and Ukraine started, we set out on a new mission – to support Ukraine as much as we can and connect with displaced people through music. Since 2022, we’ve performed over 300 concerts,” Doroshenko said.

“The proceeds from our concerts go to helping those affected by the war, especially in areas that have been heavily bombed. Currently, we are raising funds for a mobile clinic to be used in regions where access is difficult,” he added.

He emphasized that their shows are not just about entertainment but also about sending a message of support and solidarity.

Doroshenko added they love Türkiye and plan to return more frequently for future concerts.
