      But, like Washin and planting trees, some fight to keep beauty and culture alive ...

      Hobart Earle is conductor of the city’s Odesa Philharmonic Orchestra. Throughout the war they have continued to play, even after the orchestra’s concert hall was damaged in January 2025. Three ballistic missiles fired from Russian-occupied Crimea directly hit the nearby Hotel Bristol. The shock shattered the concert hall’s stained-glass windows and the main door was blown off its hinges. ... The orchestra was set to perform that evening. With less than six hours' notice, Earle moved the concert to the Odesa Conservatory.

      “The place was full to the rafters. It was a very symbolic moment because it showed that people really do need music. When times are tough, that is when the arts are needed more by people. Music is transformed by war,” Earle continued.

      During Thursday's attacks, the Conservatory's student accommodation was hit by a Russian drone, wounding five, officials said.
