Ukrainian Tribute Concert Program

On Feb. 24, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a “special military operation” of armed forces into Ukrainian territory, the purported rationale being to “denazify” Ukraine and thwart the country’s ambitions to join NATO.  Besides, Putin argued, “Ukraine has no culture of its own.”

Two years later, area musicians will gather to present an all-Ukrainian composer program of solo and chamber music in a gesture of solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

John Orfe, Polly Brecht, Marcia Henry Liebenow, Karen Martin, and Adrían Goméz Hernández will perform works by Viktor Kosenko, Ihor Shamo, Boris Lyatoshynsky, Nikolai Kapustin, and more.

“Why am I a member of Westminster Presbyterian Church?  Two words keep  floating up in a rather persistent way  –  “home” and  “family” – and I realized that it is an inescapable fact that is what this church means to me. During my 40 years here, so many life events have happened and Westminster has been there for me through all those times – good and bad.    It has been my home and family.  They say “home is where the heart is” and I’ve found the heart of Westminster to be as open and warm as a family’s!”
