We would like to share video of the concert from The Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania:

The concert from the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania was broadcasted live by LRT Culture and LRT Lituanica around the world, as well as webcasted worldwide. The concert was rebroadcasted by Ukrainian National TV and presented by Ukraine’s Channel 5.

Proceeds from these concerts will go to relieve suffering of Ukrainian people crippled by war, who have lost arms and legs, and currently receiving treatment in the hospital of Dnepropetrovsk. With the funds collected, prostheses will be made in Lithuania, which will be fitted and donated to the victims.

At the concerts in Vilnius and Kaunas has been donated 1838,60 euros. Already donated over 15000 euros.

Goals of this project:

Our goal is to grow into an international solidarity movement with the participation of even more citizens of the world, who long to help the victims of war in Ukraine.

We expect that fundraising for this cause will spring up in various countries around the world, and that international artists will host similar acts of solidarity.
