Our gathering not only bathes life in brilliance but also commemorates the fortitude and indomitable spirit of Ukraine. We aspire to bolster Ukrainian culture and art amidst these challenging circumstances while engaging the global creative community in this endeavor.”

“The occasion will be underscored by a charitable initiative during the celebratory concert featuring luminaries from the Ukrainian entertainment sphere. Through this collective effort, we aim to extend support to one of Ukraine's humanitarian missions.”
