Performance and Tales of Heroism.
A Child’s Dream, a concert by the Chamber Group of the Kyiv Classic Orchestra to benefit the thousands of of children wounded in the war, and specifically Ukraine’s largest Children’s Hospital, Ohmatdit, on Saturday May 25th at Benroya Hall in downtown Seattle.
A Child’s Dream was made famous by its courgeous and defiant concert in Kyiv’s Central Square in the first days of Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine.
A child’s dream is peace. The Chamber Group of the Kyiv Classic Orchestra will take the audience through the richness and versatility of Ukrainian musical culture. Their music will fight the violent sounds of war with the whole kaleidoscope of Ukrainian musical traditions and diversity, reflecting the bright and colorful aspects of Ukrainian lives, identity, and culture. The music will include folklore melodies, internationally recognized Ukrainian classical pieces as well as recent modern and original compositions by young Ukrainian composers.
Meeka Quan DiLorenzo’s performance of a world-famous Bach composition will exemplify the solidarity of the American people with Ukrainians’ fight for freedom, democracy, and peace.
This unique concert is hosted by The Humanity Funds and The Seattle Series under the Patronage of the US and Ukrainian Commissions for UNESCO. It is sponsored by Benaroya Hall. All proceeds and support will benefit Ukraine’s largest Children Hospital, Ohmatdit.
“These are critical times for Ukraine in their fight for freedom, democracy and peace. We are proud to partner with our broader community here in Seattle and beyond and excited to share Ukraine’s musical heritage with our audience.”
-Krishna Thiagarajan, president and CEO of the Seattle Symphony and Benaroya Hall
