Presented by the Alexander & Buono Foundation in association with Razom for Ukraine and C. Bechstein Pianos, the concert brought together Ukrainian and American voices in a program spanning reflection, hope, and resolve. Works by Valentin Silvestrov, Philip Glass, and Samuel Barber shared the program with the U.S. premiere of Ukrainian composer Oleh Bezborodko’s Steel, Violet, Rage, a concerto for piano four hands and string orchestra.

For the Foundation, the afternoon reflected the purpose at the heart of its work: creating opportunities for extraordinary artists and bringing people together through music. It was a celebration of artistic collaboration, Ukrainian culture, and the connections that make an occasion like this possible.
