The Madrid Metropolitan Orchestra and Talia Choir performed Ukrainian Eurovision hits in an unusual symphonic format. Spanish musicians sang “Stefania” by Kalush Orchestra, “Wild Dances” by Ruslana, “Noise” by Go_A and Dancing Lasha Tumbai by Verka Serduchka in Ukrainian and became stars of Ukrainian social networks.

It was the fragment with Serduchka’s hit that attracted the Ukrainians’ special attention. The choir, quite seriously, holding the notes in front of them, performs the familiar “sieben, sieben, ay-lu-lyu”, while the orchestra accompanies the song with symphonic music. A video of this moment was published on Threads, and social network users did not hide their delight.

“I never thought that I would hear Serduchka performed by an orchestra. "

Other Ukrainians drew attention to how seriously the Spanish musicians approached the performance of the composition. “They read so seriously from the sheets of paper “ziben, ziben, ay-lu-lyu,” the user joked.

Other comments say:.

Some specifically noted the reaction of the performers themselves:.

One of the users also noted: “Judging by what I saw online, this orchestra consistently supports Ukraine.”. However, the performance that has now attracted the attention of Ukrainians was actually recorded back in February 2026.

It took place at the National Music Hall of Madrid as part of the Eurocancion Sinfonica concert, a Grupo Talia project dedicated to the symphonic arrangement of famous Eurovision hits.

The arrangement of Ukrainian compositions was created by the Spanish composer Alejandro Vivas Puig. The performance was led by conductor Silvia Sanz Torre.

She founded the Madrid Metropolitan Orchestra in 2011. The group is part of the musical association Grupo Concertante Talia, which also includes the Talia choir..
