SOUNDS OF HOPE & UNITY FOR UKRAINE
Music Performances by
Artists, Family & Friends of the International Ballet Academy
An initiative by Kareli Dotson (Ballet 1)
We did it!
As we painfully witness the daily assault on Ukraine, we invite the multicultural IBA community to stand together and HELP with a fundraising concert.
The academy has direct connections to many families who have lost everything yet remain determined to fight for their lives and land with remarkable hope.
We will honor the resilience, courage, and fight for freedom we are witnessing. Let’s share with all impacted families our voice of hope, unity, and solidarity. All proceeds will be directly donated to the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine under the guidance of Chief Director, Alexander Stoyanov, the principal dancer of the National Opera of Ukraine, to help Ukrainian children rebuild their dreams and support their education in the arts.
What a powerful and inspiring program we had.
Thank you artists you are making this possible, you are the voices of HOPE & UNITY we need in this world
Please listen to the message of gratitude from Alexander Stoyanov, Principal Dancer of the National Opera of Ukraine. Alexander and world-renowned Prima Ballerina Kateryna Kukhar are principal dancers of The National Ukrainian Opera and Ballet Theatre and People’s of Artist of Ukrainian.
Alexander & Kateryn have delighted us with their performances and soon will be performing at the Best of IBT Gala.
Translation: Dear IBA's students and, of course, parents, dear Verochka and Anatoly. We value so much what you are doing now for support of Ukrainian ballet. Especially now, during the war, when children’s psyche suffers the most. The main purpose of the charity fund is to provide children with proper conditions for their creative and psychological development. Peace to all of us! Have a great performance and see you soon
