Let music speak now more than ever: music for peace, music for Ukraine. In light of the terrible events unfolding in Ukraine and the suffering of millions of innocent people, el Círculo de Bellas Artes and the Autonomous University of Madrid are organizing this charity concert to benefit the Red Cross, which will be offered by ten artists of different nationalities: Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Spain, the Netherlands, Mexico and Peru.

The idea came from the founders of Music Without QuarantineThis international solidarity movement of artists offered their music during the difficult months of lockdown in 2020, and four of the musicians participating in this benefit concert for Ukraine were involved: Claudio Constantini (bandoneon), Anna Fedorova (piano), Mikhail Pochekin (violin), and Dana Zemtsov (viola). Joining these four artists will be six other renowned musicians: Boris Fedorov (piano), Vadim Gladkov (piano), Tatiana Melnychenko (soprano), Elina Sitnikava (violin), Ihor Voievodin (bass-baritone), and the young Ukrainian refugee Sofia Zholobova (piano).

For the occasion, the artists have prepared a program with which they intend to demonstrate that music knows no borders, with works by S. Bortkevych, F. Chopin, C. Constantini, V. Filipenko, C. Gardel, GF Händel, M. Kugel, S. Prokofiev, S. Rachmaninov, L. Revutsky, V. Silvestrov and P. Tchaikovsky.
