Meet the musicians of Ukraine in a special live concert
A very special concert will see Ukrainian musicians and composers coming together to perform in West London this week.
This unique lunchtime event will take place at the University of West London (UWL) in Ealing, on Thursday 7 April. The short concert will include live performances and videos recorded by musicians still living in Ukraine.
Ukrainian Master of Music student, Iryna Gould, is the driving force of the concert that hopes to bring Ukrainian music to new audiences.
Iryna said:
Being Ukrainian myself, I can only say that the pain of seeing my family, country and people you love being destroyed is just unbearable. Consequently, I would like to do something that would help to maintain awareness of this evil and ultimately help rebuild my beloved country for its people and especially, the children."
The inaugural Voice of Ukraine concert, featuring music written exclusively by Ukrainian composers old and new, is a launch event and starts a journey of introducing this music to a wider audience. It is hoped that pledges of support, taken at the concert, will help to share the musical programme far and wide.
Sara Raybould, Pro Vice-Chancellor at the University of West London, added:
Music unites people from all backgrounds and at a time when we see so much suffering in Ukraine, this concert is the perfect vehicle to show our support and solidarity. We are proud to be supporting Iryna and all the musicians who are taking part in the event.”
