About the Concert

Keys for Resilience is an evening of classical music in support of Connecticut’s sister cities in Ukraine. It will feature Ruslan Ramazanov, an extraordinary Ukrainian pianist and refugee now based in the U.S., and Ukrainian-American soprano and bandurist Teryn Kuzma.

Ruslan will present classical works by favorites Chopin, Prokofiev, Brahams, Debussy and Gershwin; as well as introducing audiences to contemporary Ukrainian classical composer Myroslav Skoryk.
From Teryn, expect to experience surprising Ukrainian melodies with harp-like sound, as well as her radiant and velvety soprano voice.  

With stories from our frontline partner communities in Ukraine as well, the concert will serve both as a cultural event and a fundraiser to support urgent humanitarian needs in the Donetsk region. Funds raised from this event will directly support Ukraine Aid International’s ongoing work delivering essential resources to communities in need.
