This concert is in support of The Pavel Kushnir Scholarship. Established by artists, musicians, and creators, this scholarship aims to support students from Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus in pursuing their musical studies at leading institutions worldwide. All proceeds from this concert will contribute to establishing these scholarships, and additional donations are warmly welcomed.
Pavel Kushnir was a pianist and author, and the creative force behind the radio series Mazurkas on Wednesdays. In July 2024, he tragically died in detention as a result of a hunger strike, after speaking out against Russia's war in Ukraine. He leaves behind a legacy of courage and resolve, and this scholarship will carry forward his vision by helping aspiring musicians achieve their dreams.
By attending, you are supporting this mission of resilience and dedication to music. Together, let us ensure that young musicians have opportunities to study and practice their music in freedom.
