We categorically oppose Russia's invasion and perpetration of war crimes against the Ukrainian people. It feels imperative that in this time of great need, we offer them our moral and financial support.
To that end, please join us at Grosvenor Chapel in London on Thursday 19 May at 8pm for a musical evening of reflection and hope. Award-winning Ukrainian pianist Sasha Grynyuk presents music by Henry Purcell and Baldassare Galuppi, interwoven with performances of Italian and English vocal music from the 16th & 17th centuries by a consort of Vache Baroque singers.
We condemn this war and stand for united people, minds, and artists all over the world. All proceeds from this concert will be donated to With Ukraine, a fundraiser set up by the Embassy of Ukraine to the UK to consolidate international efforts in raising funds to provide humanitarian support to Ukraine and its people.
