As the war escalates in Ukraine and several countries around the world prepare to welcome millions of refugees, voices unite to offer a concert of music for peace at the Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal.
Posted at 3:01 p.m.
The Orchester de l’Agora, under the direction of conductor Nicolas Ellis, pianist Jean-Michel Blais and soprano Natalie Choquette will be present, as well as a dozen other classical performers. The concert is under the artistic direction of Nadia Monczak. Actress Claudia Ferri will host the evening. The final program for the evening remains to be confirmed, but Bach, Chopin, Mozart and Max Richter will be on the menu.
This concert for peace is an initiative of the Korwin-Szymanowski Family Foundation. Profits will be donated to the Folkowisko Association in Poland, which carries out a humanitarian mission on the ground, with war victims in need of help on both sides of the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Tuesday, March 22, at 7:30 p.m., at the Notre-Dame Basilica. Free admission, with voluntary fundraising.
