The charity concert “With a heart with Ukraine” is behind us. Thank you for taking part in it in such large numbers and for donating so much to our fundraiser “Layette for a Baby” (we would like to remind you that each donation over PLN 30 was an admission ticket to the event). All proceeds from the tickets will go, as promised, to the Gdańsk Helps Ukraine Regional Coordination Centre for layettes for small children.

The originator of the concert is Wiktoria Batarowska , who lives permanently in Poland and comes from Zhytomyr. On a daily basis, she is the conductor of the Olivia Centre Choir, in which employees of Olivia and companies that have their offices in our business center perform. It was Wiktoria’s energy and persistence that allowed us to gather almost a hundred outstanding Ukrainian and Polish artists on one stage.

The concert was attended by: Zoya Rozhok, soprano from the Ukrainian National Opera; Sviatoslav Kondrativ, a well-known Ukrainian violinist and composer; Viktor Korunnyy, French horn player, soloist of the Lviv Philharmonic; Artem Storozhuk, a graduate of the Academy of Music Pyotr Tchaikovsky in Kiev and Liana Kasyun-Korunna, a Ukrainian pianist, graduate of the Lviv Academy of Music.

The artists were accompanied by Polish musicians and singers: the Cantores Veiherovienses choir conducted by Tomasz Chyła and the Olivia Centre Choir. We heard: Emilia Osowska – mezzo-soprano, Krzysztof Pawłocki – guitar ( Les Femmes); Art’n’Voices team; mezzo-soprano Marta Jundziłł, alto countertenor Jakub Borowczyk; flutist Magdalena Burkiewicz; Martyna Chomuszko – piano and pianist Maciej Baczyński.

The concert began with the performance of the Prayer for Ukraine by all the artists. “Great and only God, save Ukraine,” is how the song begins. The music was composed over 130 years ago by Mykola Lysenko, the founder of the Ukrainian national opera.

“Many of the artists performing tonight share with us not only their talent, but also their personal concern for their loved ones who have stayed on the other side of the border. But most of all, hope – said Małgorzata Szumała from Olivia Centre, the host of the concert. ” Let us remain with Ukraine in many ways, not forgetting that thedeeper the night, the closer to dawn.”
