Bristol Beacon set to host Ukraine Benefit Event
Taking place this Saturday, the early evening event is curated by Bozarts Band and will be using words, music and visual projection to bring a unique experience to those attending.
The event will also include actress Patrycja Kujawska (Kneehigh Theatre), soprano Katy Garden and special guest, pianist with Ukrainian roots, Veronika Shoot.
The event will be completley immersive with audience members encouraged to explore the Bristol Beacon foyer and get close to those performing across the different levels; it will be a guided exploration through music and verse.
is needed now More than ever
There will be a strong emphasis on Ukraine, audience members will not only be able to stand in solidarity with those affected by the war but the programme will conclude with the audience joining the musicians to sing anthems of hope – Va, pensiero (Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves) from Verdi’s Nabucco and the Ukrainian national anthem.
All proceeds will go directly to the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC). Tickets are free but donations are encouraged. You can reserve your tickets here.
