This timely and relevant world-class musical event is part of the “This Ukrainian American Life” Northeast tour in support of Razom for Ukraine (Razom), a leading US-based nonprofit dedicted to contributing to a secure, democratic and prosperous Ukraine. In New York City, it will take place at the historic Estonian House.
Vira Slywotzky, one of the world’s leading contraltos, will star in a magnificent musical evening accompanied by renowned pianist Paul Carlson, celebrating American and Ukrainian classical, folk, and popular songs, punctuated by stories about growing up as a Ukrainian American, the Russian war in Ukraine, and how fellow New Yorkers have, and can, make a decisive difference in this existential fight for freedom.
