Music of Hope: a benefit concert for new arrivals from Ukraine

A dynamic evening of classical, popular, jazzy, and traditional Ukrainian music! Enjoy a wide range of musical styles and instruments, including the captivating sounds of Ukraine’s national instrument – the bandura.

Proceeds will be donated to the Ukrainian Canadian Social Services in Toronto for the most urgent of needs such as lodgings, transportation, food/clothing, medical needs not covered by OHIP, language classes, kids’ activities, and others. Many are here on their own, and the UCSS serves as an important resource centre for facilitating with basic necessities for life in a new country.
