THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. JOSEPH invites you to Songs of Faith and Resistance
Featuring the YEVSHAN UKRAINIAN VOCAL ENSEMBLE of CONNECTICUT
The concert will feature a variety of works from Ukraine’s rich choral tradition of liturgical hymns, spirituals, patriotic songs, and folk ballads, performed in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Ukraine is now in its third year of resistance against Russia’s full-scale invasion that began on February 24, 2022. Despite the long delay in the release of US Congressional support, the Ukrainian people continue to hold strong against Putin’s campaign of genocide. Despite the brutality of Russian aggression, Ukrainians have remained resilient in building a thriving economy, with innovative technologies and a powerful agricultural sector that continues to harvest and export millions of tons of grain to countries in Africa and the Middle East in their determination to maintain freedom and combat global famine.
Admission to the concert is free, but free will donations will be gratefully accepted. Proceeds will benefit wounded soldiers and civilians undergoing treatment at the Ukrainian Catholic University’s medical clinic in Western Ukraine. Tax deductible donations may be made to Ukrainian Catholic University Foundation, 2247 West Chicago Avenue, Chicago, IL 60622
Join us on April 28th in support of the heroic people of Ukraine.
