The CONCIERTO BENÉFICO PAZ PARA UCRANIA, in collaboration with AGA Ucrania, Compostela Solidaria and Ateneo Santiago was created with the aim of commemorating the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in support of the Ukrainian people and in solidarity with the refugees welcomed in Santiago de Compostela and Galicia.

SanArte will perform as a string orchestra, with the collaboration of several musicians from the Real Filharmonía de Galicia. We have the collaboration of Soledad Felloza for the oral narration of several Ukrainian poems and texts translated into Spanish. The presentation of the event and the musical moments will be in charge of Irina Gruia.
