Huron Waves Music Festival Hosting Benefit for Ukrainian Students Studying in Southwestern Ontario

The Huron Waves Music Festival announced last week that they will be holding a special concert that will celebrate the Ukrainian culture and raise funds for young Ukrainians studying in Southwestern Ontario.

The event, dubbed “We Stand with Ukraine” is being held on Sunday, June 19th at 3 pm at Grand Bend Place in Grand Bend.

Judy Maddren, formerly of World Report on CBC Radio, hosts the benefit concert.

The concert will feature internationally honoured bandurist Victor Mishalow and his bandurist ensemble.

Artistic Director of the Festival, John Miller, says Mishalow is highly regarded in his home country of the Ukraine.

“Victor is called an Emeritus artist of Ukraine. He even had a stamp issued in his honour in Ukraine because he’s so proficient with the bandura.”

The audience will also be linked by live video with musicians on-site in Ukraine.

Tickets for the event can be purchased through a link found below.
