Description

We wish to express our heartfelt gratitude to the pastors, council and governing board of GRACE EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL for sponsoring our concert program this evening. With a sense of Christian unity and brotherhood, we also thank you, our audience for supporting this fund raising concert to aid our native homeland, Ukraine. The choir membership is a compilation of singers from Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. We are joined this evening by members of the Google Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Maestro Diego Hernandez, who shall accompany the choir in beautiful arrangements of several different genres of Ukrainian music…..Liturgical, patriotic, folk and whimsical “kolomaykas.” As war continues to ravage our homeland, we are performing this “SING FOR UKRAINE” program to raise awareness of the war’s injustice, the extreme hardships placed upon our brothers and sisters in the civilian population and to raise much needed funds to assist our country’s medical and military needs. For this, we are thankful to everyone in attendance. Please sit back and let the beautiful melodies envelop you and carry you away to the plains of Ukraine, The Steppe, the majestic mountains and inviting seashore of the Black Sea. In your mind’s eye envision the sights, sounds, culture and heritage of a proud and heroic people.
