Sunday, June 14 | Cambridge, MA

Join us for a special fundraising concert in support of First Aid of the Soul (FAS) and the launch of an Arts & Health Initiative in Ukraine.

This unique event will feature exceptional Ukrainian and local musicians from the community—artists who are not only accomplished performers, but also clinicians and practitioners who believe deeply in the power of the arts to support healing, cultural identity, and resilience.

The afternoon will include:

  • A beautiful live concert

  • Poetry and interdisciplinary performance

  • Stories from the ground in Ukraine
