In June 2021, Alekseenok became artistic director of the Ukrainian Kharkiv Music Festival,[9] which organizes concerts in bomb shelters, subways and hospitals in Kharkiv during the Russo-Ukrainian War.[10]

As an opera conductor he has collaborated with the Teatro alla Scala (Milan), the Bavarian State Opera (Munich), the National Opera of Ukraine (Kyiv), the Gran Teatre del Liceu (Barcelona), the Teatro Massimo Bellini (Catania) and others.[11] He has conducted orchestras such as the MDR Symphony Orchestra, the Staatskapelle Weimar, the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, the Filarmonica Arturo Toscanini in Parma and the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra, among others. Alekseenok also led the first Ukrainian performance[12] of Wagner's Tristan und Isolde at the National Opera of Ukraine in autumn 2021 and conducted a production of Mozart's opera Don Giovanni in Severodonetsk in 2018 as part of the project "Music Overcomes Walls"[13][14][15]
