Baryshevskyi played a concert in Kyiv Philharmonic on 22 February 2022, the day before the
Russian invasion of Ukraine. On the first day of the war he went to
Lviv and start volunteering. In an interview with Michael Ertl for
BBC World Service he said "First few days we were making camouflage nets and then we thought maybe we can do something more. My goal now is to show Ukrainian music."[3]
Baryshevskyi organised and played a charity video concert on 23 March 2022, together with violinist
Aleksey Semenenko and others, to help colleagues.[4] After he was permitted to leave the country, he made his way to the Netherlands, and in 2023 was
artist-in-residence at
Splendor (Amsterdam) [
nl].[5] He and Semenenko accompanied the
National Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine's tour of the United Kingdom in October 2023 as alternating soloists.[6][7]
Baryshevskyi gives
master classes in Ukraine and abroad, as a guest professor in Davidsbündler Music Academy in the Hague, Netherlands.[8]
Baryshevskyi dared to be different, and he does so again here. If you prefer your Pictures in bold primary colours, this is not for you, but Baryshevskyi has ideas that penetrate beyond the surface of the canvas to touch facets of emotion that are obviously personal to him and which bring to the exhibition a special perspective. Baryshevskyi's performances of Scriabin that are the most unequivocally impressive.[9]
A review of Shostakovich: Suite for Variety Orchestra; Concerto for Piano, Trumpet & Strings; The Golden Age in Classical Music described "how the satirical fireworks were always shadowed by a mournful remoteness. And these opposites are nicely balanced here under Antonii Baryshevskyi's volatile fingers and
Howard Griffiths's crisp direction."[10]
