They played music professionally before the war. After fighting in some of the fiercest battles of Russia’s war against Ukraine and recovering from injuries, they get back to playing.

Cultural Forces, the cultural arm of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, is bringing five musicians for a tour in US to thank the American people for its sustained support in helping Ukraine restore its territory and returning peace to Europe.

Performances will include renditions of a wide variety of music, from Ukrainian and world classical pieces to covers of popular hits, including by a master of the traditional Ukrainian string instrument, the bandura. There will be an opportunity for interaction between the audience and the artists.

Free admission, donations welcome
