THE SISTERS: A choral benefit for Ukraine
Free ($20 suggested donation)
With THE SISTERS, The Esoterics will present a program of Orthodox choral music by the Ukrainian composers Bohdana Frolyak and her late sister Hanna Havrylets. Hanna died tragically this year on the third day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, when she suffered an aneurysm and was unable to get medical attention in time.
Hanna's younger sister, Bohdana, has recovered her scores and shared them with director Eric Banks along with her own works. Eric has transliterated and translated these Ukrainian scores, so that The Esoterics can perform these sisters' music together.
No tickets or reservations are required for this concert, and a free-will donation will be taken at the door. All of the proceeds from this concert will benefit humanitarian organizations in the Ukraine that have been selected by Bohdana.
